Cherry Hardwood Lumber

American Cherry is a classic North American hardwood prized for its warm color, smooth grain, excellent workability, and beautiful aging characteristics. Freshly surfaced Cherry typically begins as a light pinkish-brown to warm reddish tone and naturally develops a deeper, richer reddish-brown patina with exposure to light and time.

Its refined appearance and predictable working characteristics have made Cherry a longtime favorite for fine furniture, cabinetry, boxes, tables, and traditional woodworking.

Ideal For:

• Fine furniture and cabinetry
• Tables, desks & shelving
• Cutting & charcuterie boards
• Boxes and keepsake projects
• Woodturning
• Decorative trim and accents
• Custom woodworking projects

Why Woodworkers Choose Cherry

Cherry offers an excellent combination of beauty, stability, and workability. It machines, sands, glues, turns, and finishes exceptionally well, allowing woodworkers to achieve a smooth, refined surface.

One of Cherry's most desirable characteristics is how beautifully it darkens naturally with age, developing greater warmth and depth over time.

Cherry also pairs beautifully with Walnut, Hard Maple, White Oak, and contrasting exotic hardwoods.
