Description
American Cherry (*Prunus serotina*), also known as Black Cherry, is a highly sought-after hardwood native to North America. Renowned for its warm and rich appearance, the wood ranges in color from pale pinkish-brown when freshly cut to a deep reddish-brown as it ages, developing a lustrous patina over time. It typically features a fine, straight grain with a smooth texture, occasionally displaying subtle ripples or figures that enhance its visual appeal.
American Cherry is relatively lightweight but durable, with excellent stability and resistance to warping, making it ideal for fine furniture, cabinetry, flooring, and millwork. Its workability is highly praised, as it machines, glues, and finishes beautifully, often requiring minimal effort to achieve a stunning, polished result. Additionally, its natural colour takes stains and finishes evenly, though many craftsmen prefer to highlight its inherent beauty without added colour.
As one of the most beloved domestic hardwoods, American Cherry is prized for its elegance, workability, and versatility, making it a staple in traditional and contemporary woodworking projects alike. Sustainable harvesting ensures its continued availability for future generations.
