General Characteristics
The finest Cherry is grown and sawn in the Northeastern United States.
Cherry is easy to machine and finishes very nicely. It has a tight, slightly swirling but unassuming grain.
The more desirable heartwood is reddish-brown, while the sapwood is a light yellow shade.
Cherry is also offered as a steamed product. The steaming process minimizes the distinction between heartwood and sapwood.
Typical Applications
Cherry has long been a leading choice among the cabinet and furniture industries. It is also a popular choice among designers for wall paneling, flooring, and retail fixtures.
