Description
A mineral streak is a black, grey or olive line or band in the wood, and it develops when the tree absorbs and deposits minerals from the soil. Mineral streaks run parallel with the grain, and they are easy to identify and measure. Some carpenters prefer to avoid mineral streaks when they are building cabinets or furniture. They may cut around the deposits, or they may try to bleach the area so that the streak is lighter.
