Re: Resin in upper joint

Paul,
What I think they mean is that the upper joint bore is slightly oversized and that the resin impregnation process build up the bore surface, which is then reamed to the correct size. As for penetration, remember that oil soaking relies on the oil wicking into the wood under normal atmospheric pressure whereas the impregnation process I mention is done by first removing any air within the wood by means of a vacuum process and then applying the resin under extreme pressure. I've used this process industrially and it is extremely effective, resulting in a dense structure with the characteristics of timber but greatly enhanced wear qualities. Of course this is pure speculation and I reserve for myself the right to be wrong.

Tony F.
