Highly resinated wood will ALWAYS yield superior oil to oil-grade wood. All the resin may not get extracted but a long term infection leading to solid resin also brings with it the most amazing oud oils. Try to distill Oud Sultani from oil grade wood and see how far you get. Moreover, resin CAN be distilled into oil if you employ the right techniques.
I hate to say this but most of the stuff you read in this market is pure baloney. Go by what the vendor's oils tell you, not by what the vendor tells you. If an oil is advertised as "kinam" but it smells like barn, you know the right dose of salt with which to take their other assertions.
