One thing to remember about Byne's "Disease" is that the cause has two components. The development of the condition requires (1) a material capable of releasing acid vapors, and (2) sufficient moisture to allow those acid vapors to form. Some woods, such as oak (I'm not sure about teak) have the capacity to release such vapors, in the presence of moisture. So, if you cannot keep your cabinets in an area free of high humidity, you should be careful about the wood they are made from. But if you have a good dry place to keep the collection, then the type of wood in the cabinets is far less problematic. Good ventilation is a plus, but it isn't the deciding factor. If you have an acid-producing wood in a moist environment, then Byne's can occur, even with good ventilation (though probably more slowly than with poor ventilation). If you have the collection is a low humidity environment, then Byne's should not occur, even if the ventilation is poor. It is a good idea to control humidity regardless of what kind of cabinets you have, since high humidity tends to favor other problems as well, especially fungal growth. Paul M.
