I store my woods in the house now. @markbailey suggested taking a blank out to a cold workshop (in the winter) to work on and then bring it back in the house after working on it. I think it’s easier to regulate the temperature in a house than in an unheated or cooled workshop. If you are investing in some sort of temperature and humidity regulation in a workshop then certainly do your homework before storing wood. It’s definitely something I need to consider before moving my wood stash.

My option is an air-source heat pump for the workshop.

Main benefit of that is that it would work as aircon in the summer, and heater in the winter, so I should be able to maintain a reasonably consistent temperature in the workshop.

Downside though was the cost, plus the on-going running cost.  Although the running cost is a lot less than running an electric rad out there, the payback period was several (many!) years ...

Building guitars sounds like a great retirement to me. 🙂
