RBailey Member Messages 404 Location Rutland Oct 28, 2022 #3 Could it be oil contamination that is making it look wet? I'd try giving it a wipe with some acetone or something to see what happens.

Feltwell Member Messages 6,378 Location Shropshire, England Oct 28, 2022 #4 I'd also suggest they're just stained or oil contaminated. If there's no source for the water, no way would they stay wet that long. Wood is one of the few areas where a pin-type moisture meter can be used with reasonable results, if you want to be sure. Fairly cheap on Amazon
