Ideal for cabinet making and flooring you can use Cherry for a multitude of different interior woodworking projects. American Cherry sports a characteristic pinkish-brown hue, machines well and is a great choice for furniture making, and woodturning. American Cherry Timber is often stocked as kiln dried, and is usually imported with a square edge. The rich tones in its colour gives Cherry a luxury appeal and the richness can be effectively enhanced with oiling or varnishing. Cherry wood is also very popular with traditional cabinet makers and furniture makers. Cherry is also suitable for interior joinery and although it has a luxurious appearance it can be a modest price compared to oak.

Cut to Size / Planed American Cherry Timber
The timber is hard, with a fine, straight, close grain, the heartwood varying in colour from reddish-brown to rich red, the narrow sapwood being pinkish. Fine, narrow, brown-coloured pith flecks, and small gum pockets are a common feature of the wood, which weighs about 580 kg/m³ when dried.
Typically certain species of American hardwood such as Cherry are shipped into the United Kingdom as FAS 1 face or better using the internationaly recognisied NHLA (National Hardwood Lumber Association) grading rules, because they are fruit woods with much smaller trunks, more sapwood, more knots etc.
FAS 1 face allows for only the best face to be 83% clear of knot and the reverse face 50% clear and sapwood is not considered a defect, especially in Walnut and Cherry.
Ordering American Cherry Timber
Ordering American Cherry Timber from Timbersource provides you with an attractive wood which machines well, is great for nailing and gluing, and polishes well once it has been sanded. It is dimensionally stable once kilning has occurred, but does dry with moderate shrinkage. The heartwood is resistant to both decay and – less so – preservative treatment, while the sapwood is vulnerable to attack from the common furniture beetle, unless properly treated.
