Bilge?

From http://www.myatt.co.uk/art_012.htm

"...the ballast from ships arriving from Africa. This consisted of African Blackwood, soaked in bilge oil, and sold for next to nothing before being turned into 1010 and 926 clarinets, and oboes and cors anglais."

Anyone tried oiling with bilge oil? I'd rather not be the first to try.

If there are so many people on this board unwilling or unable to have a civil and balanced discussion about important issues, then I shan't bother to post here any more.

To the great relief of many of you, no doubt.
