Wood and weather question

Well as you all know its been a wet, cold winter. Ive been dying to do more plug work however my knowledge about wood itself is not that great. My "shop" basically is a Florida room and pretty much is at the mercy of the elements (only the fact that the room is surrounded by a screen and jallousy windows keeps snow and rain out). So I deal with every breeze, if it's damp out there is condensation, and of course it is either hot or cold depending on the weather outside.

Of course, all the tools are in that room and cannot be operated anywhere else (some are actually bolted down). For working on shaping the wood, cutting it, etc. will this all ruin the integrity before I can even think of sealing it? (No I don't work on wet wood nor have I done it in damp conditions, but I have worked on my failed plugs in the biting cold). Typically after I work on whatever it is, I blow off the wood dust and take it in the warm house to evaluate it and let it sit instead of freezing over outside.

Master's of the Wood enlighten me please!
