    Wood lye is KOH. You don't have to believe Wikipedia, there are
    other sources on the web, e.g. 

    http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_ashlye.html
    http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i.9273#i
    http://concise.britannica.com/ebc/article-9370778/lye
           (definition of potash) 

    Fortunately, for most purposes it doesn't matter. 

    Incidentally, I also found this information in a fascinating book
    that belonged to my father - "Practical Chemistry" published in 1929.
