Two fun facts about maple’s red streaks:

1. Mineral magic – The red streaking is often caused by mineral uptake from the soil, which naturally colours the wood as the tree grows.

2. A sign of stress – Sometimes, environmental stress such as injury, fungi, or weather extremes can create these vibrant streaks, giving the wood an added layer of history and character.
