I'm ready to attach the top & back ( Mahog. & Spruce) However it's been stormy around here in So Cal. for the last few days, & the humidity is up around 80%
I do have a humidity box that is reading 32%. My question is how long should I leave the parts in the box, or is there a faster way to dry them out.

I'd say it all depends. At least a couple of days or a week?

Weigh it when you put it in. Then, weigh it daily. When the weight stops decrerasing, it has come to the humidity in the box. You'll need a scale that reads in grams.

Thats a great idea Bob, although I was wondering if there was a quicker way like applying heat some how. looks like I'll be cleaning the shop while I wait.

One of the quickest ways to have a set back in your work is to try to hurry it. Been there. My suggestion is to wait until the weather is a bit drier. It shouldn't be long.
