I see the problem here.De-lignify isn't in the dictionary(I just checked).Lignin is an amorphus polymetric substance related to cellulose that together with cellulose forms the woody cell walls and the cementing material between them in trees(and plants).Soaking the logs in water for many years leaches out the lignin(de-lignify)or opens the cells up.How the surface finish soaks into these open cells is a very large part of the sound.Not only that but as the instrument is played the vibrations change the cross-linkages in the polymers(in the finish).Straight age does not have the same effect.It must be under tension(strung)and played.My interest in this is in part from a brother,sister,and brother-in-law that are into wood technology(with degrees in forestry)a friend that is a cabinet builder and musician(and has built two violins)and of course my interest in things audio(I am a mere wood butcher,I let them build the boxes).If there was enough interest we could have C37 analyzed and have a 55 gallon drum made up for ~$1000(I have done things like this before)and sell it for 1/10th the price.
