Our Cherry is valued for its rich, deep reddish Brown color and exceptional character. Its interesting grain and smooth texture give it extraordinary finishing qualities.

Other Common Names: Black Cherry, American Cherry, Prunus serotina

Sourcing Region: Eastern North America

Color, Pattern, Texture: Cherry can be among a light pinkish brown when freshly cut, a darkening to a medium reddish brown with time and upon exposure to light; sapwood is a pale yellowish color. The grain is usually straight and easy to work—with the exception of figured pieces with curly grain patterns. Has a fine, even texture with moderate natural luster.

Common Uses and Applications: Cabinetry, fine furniture, flooring, interior millwork, veneer, turned objects, and small specialty wood items

Working Properties: Cherry is known as being one of the best for workability; is stable, straight-grained, and machines well. The only difficulties typically arise if the wood is being stained, as it can sometimes give blotchy results. Sapwood is common, and may contribute to a high wastage factor.
