Discolored osage

(1/3) > >>

Jakesnyder:
Anyone ever see something like this? What causes the discoloration?

meanewood:
Is this the 'back' of your stave and have you chased a ring?
If so, It looks like the transition from early to late wood rather than a ring violation.
Maybe not!

George Tsoukalas:
I agree.
Another note...be sure to follow that vertical grain when laying out the bow.

Pat B:
If it's as hard as the rest of the wood don't worry about it. Could be a mineral stain or even a non-lethal fungal stain.

Jakesnyder:
Yes it's the back and I've chased the ring. It's not a ring violation.  And yes pat b it's as hard as everything else.
