American Cherry

Hardness: 4.2 Stability: Good

Probably one of the most beautiful wood there is, American Cherry has a grain pattern that is almost three-dimensional and is really quite stunning. Don’t forget the color – ranging from a pinkish-brown through to a deep red – cherry is truly a wood of outstanding warmth and beauty. Though it is one of the more stable hardwoods, cherry is isn’t the hardest, so be warned. It takes a stain well and finishes extremely well. Alas! Without knots there is a hefty price tag
