I found the weight method best for me to ,it always surprises me how long dense woods like osage & BL take to acclimate if left in stave form but the up side is they usually take some nice even natural reflex when dried inside 50 % RH or better ,white woods like Hickory & Maple cure quicker also take nice natural reflex most of the time ! I have been getting much nicer bows with wood cured like that.
