Mineral Streak
A darkened or discolored wood area, caused by minerals
which the tree extracts from the soil, can be either mineral
streak or mineral stain. Mineral streak appears as a blackish-blue,
well-defined streak running parallel with the grain. It
is commonly found in maple and birch, and occasionally
in oak and cherry. The streak can be measured easily by
its length and width. |
