Mike,
Haven't heard from my northern shell collecting buddy in while! Bynes
disease needs humidity. An oak drawer coated with polyurethane will be
fine. The acids of cardboard, felt, and such need that humidity before they
can really do big damage. Speaking of which, I just heard a biggggg thunder
clap so I think I better sign off before mother nature takes away my
machine,

humidity - except right now during the thunderstorm -- of single digits)
