While working in my bow shop (basement) on removing some mass from some of my unseasoned staves, I was contemplating building a dry box to speed the drying process up a bit... I was thinking that after I whittled my stave into a bow blank, sealed it, and clamped it to a caul, I could insert the blank/caul into a door I could cut into my furnace pipe. There is a section of pipe that takes a 45 degree turn down before straightening out that I could install a sealed door. My furnace fan runs consistently and the heat turns on as needed per thermostat.
What do you think of my hair-brained idea before I cut into my furnace pipe?

I wouldn't cut into ther furnace pipe but make a heat exchange of some sort. Actually a few light bulbs would be cheaper, easer and safer.

It would only work in the winter as well. I really like my dry box in the summer with our high humidity. Winters are dry.
