Hey Hickory guys..
« on: April 15, 2013, 06:26:23 pm »
Are dark streaks in hickory staves anything to worry about?  They look like little streaks of decay to me.  I haven't ever worked hickory before, so I thought I would see what you guys that know the stuff had to say.

Nope nothing to worry about, I've made good bows with streaks like that.

Looks like mineral stain to me buddy. I have seen it in some of my staves but I have never had problems with it. What sort of area did you get the wood from?
