Problem or just really cool effect???
« on: December 14, 2019, 11:06:06 am »
I dont think this is an issue but I would just like to double check on these darkish spots. I just want to make sure it's not from a sick tree or something. Thanks!

If it's osage it shouldn't be a problem.

I have one like that but it's about ten times more mottled.  It's fine.

It could be mineral or fungal or just genetics. I've seen a few that were weakened by the staining but generally the streaked wood is good and sometimes superior.

  The red streaked Osage seems to be harder and is beautiful...

Beautiful red color on this one. Hard as a stone as well.

I've had my share of bad luck with streaked osage lately. Sometimes those streaks end up being weak spots that separate inside the limb.
