Cherry Hardwood Boards – 3/4" x 1.5" x 16" – 20 Pieces
Few domestic hardwoods can match the timeless elegance of Cherry (Prunus serotina). Prized by furniture makers and woodworkers for generations, Cherry is celebrated for its warm reddish-brown heartwood that deepens and enriches beautifully with age and light exposure. It's the kind of wood that only gets better over time — a true heirloom material.
Appearance & Character
-
Color: Freshly milled Cherry ranges from a light pinkish-brown to a rich reddish-brown. With exposure to light, it develops a stunning deep reddish-amber patina that makes finished pieces look even more luxurious over the years.
-
Grain: Fine, straight, and uniform with a smooth, satiny texture. Occasional wavy or curly figure adds visual interest and uniqueness to individual boards.
-
Luster: Cherry has a natural luster that responds beautifully to clear finishes, letting the wood's warmth and depth truly shine.
Strength & Durability
-
Janka Hardness: 950 lbf — moderately hard, making it durable enough for everyday use while remaining easy to work with hand and power tools.
-
Stability: Kiln-dried for maximum moisture stability, reducing the risk of warping or movement after your project is complete.
Workability
Cherry is a woodworker's dream. It machines exceptionally well, planes to a glassy smooth surface, and responds beautifully to both hand tools and power tools. It glues reliably, turns well on a lathe, and takes finishes — especially oil and clear topcoats — with outstanding results. Its fine grain means minimal sanding is needed to achieve a flawless surface.
