The material

Better with age.

Fine, close-grained and rich red-brown from the outset; cherry keeps darkening in daylight, so what you make will look better in ten years than the day it left the bench.

Heartwood varies from rich red to reddish-brown with a fine, straight, close grain, narrow brown pith flecks, small gum pockets and a smooth texture.

Pattern-making, musical instruments, furniture and cabinetmaking, high-class joinery, boat interiors and printing blocks; an excellent turnery and carving wood. Selected logs are sliced into decorative veneers.
