Have scary situation to describe to you. I spilled some motor oil on my chopping block. Next day I went out to "whack some wood". The first time the axe went all the way through a piece of wood to the chopping block, it bounced right out and darned near conked me in the head! Needless to say that chopping block was made into firewood. I left it out for quite a while and it never lost that nasty characteristic! Oil on wood changes the way it reacts. When lubing pressure points for string rendering, I never lube the top bridge, if it is wood. Something to think about.
