We do the same thing with the Oak on “Bring your Kids to Work Day” in the office. Take a piece of Red Oak and a piece of White Oak. Dip one end of endgrain in soapy water of each piece and blow through it. The Red Oak makes bubbles (due to the open pores), whereas the White Oak will not (due to “Touloses” clogging the pores).
