<><> who cut an oboe joint into two pieces and allowed them to soak
in oil for 6 months.

Ooops, this says nothing about how deep or fast _water_ penetrates,
especially since water and oil repel each other. An accurate
measurement of oil absorbtion --- which is not what we're discussing
anyway --- would begin with a measurement of the wood's water content.

Cheers,
Bill
