^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I tried it once, and it didn't work well at all. The needle didn't settle
down to a fixed reading. This may be due to the fact that ohmmeters use
DC--something is changing due to the flow of current, possibly formation of
gas at the wood/metal interfaces. Or there may be voltages generated by the
fluid in the wood acting on the metal probe. Or both.
