Hiya The Edgars and all

Yes, I agree...the gas or liquid would take the path of least resistance.
However, this piece which I yanked out of a muddy sack today contains what
appears to be a void that made a u-turn! Great pity the piece had broken (in
the ground, when being dug or in transit, I dunno) where the void was the
largest. Mabye there was movement in the soil, changing orientation of the
drying resin which caused the gas/liquid to change direction as well?
