Wood Sample-Cherry

As one of North America's finest and highly prized woods, Cherry is known as the wood that helped to develop the cabinet industry we have today. With its straight, fine grain, smooth texture and reddish heartwood color, it's one of the most desirable of all the hardwoods. Cherry is extremely stable and very beautiful when finished. It can be worked well with hand tools and glues together well. Just watch out for gum pockets throughout since they can show up on veneers. Polish the finish off in the end and you'll have a beautiful piece of work.
