Er--- uh.... Graphite is non hygroscopic.... actually its a fabulous
water repellent. That said... I like teflon better too... but because
is it globular in structure and not crystalline. Seems to work better
as a lubricant for felt bushings in anycase.

I prefer to use microfine powdered
teflon. Graphite seems to attract moisture in
humid climates and gum up. Maybe there are other
chemical things coming from the wood, but it just
doesn't seem to work well long-term.
