I'd say no, because without proper sealing water will soak into the wood, hence the term water-logged. Hardwoods, being more dense, just take longer to absorb liquids.

For thousands of years wash-tubs, buckets and barrels have been made from wood. They didn't leak, and neither did wooden ships if the joints were properly caulked.

What makes a Stradivarius a Stradivarius is the fact that the wood he used to make his violins with was soaked in water -very special water, as it happens. See the related link below for further (limited) information on the reproduction attempts that have been made.
