This particular tree was a yard tree that I believe got hit by lightening. It cause the black stain through the tree.

I did not know we didn't have to resize pics anymore. I do have one picture of salted sycamore that won't load for some reason.

Black streaks/color in the heartwood of magnolia is not uncommon.

That color pattern is normal for our Magnolia.

Magicman,
Will it stay through the drying process?

My experience with magnolia hasn't been good. Sawed good, looked nice, but degraded rapidly. Colors faded to a dull gray and the dry wood was hard and brittle. Stacked and stickered the wood turned to mush....

Nice pics! I really like magnolia. There is a lot of color in there just as each new board comes off. I don't know much about the end use of it but I did cut some for a fellow that made picture frames out of it. They turned out nice. Brian

Good to know. I milled a magnolia for a guy who wanted to use it in place of a floor jack post and another log for a mantle piece. His builder thought it was a good idea and I milled as requested.

I have no idea because I have never seen it past the sawing. I would trust Pineywood's experience with it.
