 Wooden barrel has stream of "dryness"

Hi,

I have recently gotten my first wooden clarinet, which I try to care for as well as I can.

I noticed a while ago that the inside of the bell was getting some dry patches, and ran to the store to get some oil to start oiling the bore.

I started with pure almond oil, and purchased some fancy bore oil from dawkes (smells like flowers - quite lovely!).

I recently got the dawkes oil and have swithced to that one.


However, even after oiling the clarinet inside 4-5 times for a week, letting it soak in over night, I get a strange "river" of dryness in the bell after playing just once.

It seems to me that when moisture flows down the bore, it somehow dries up the bell extremely fast where the stream flows.

Or maybe its a chemical reaction?

I have attached an image, which looks much whiter than it does in real life.



Have you had any similar issues? Should I continue regular oiling?
Should I do something different?

Regards
Peter
