Cherry
Cherry (Prunus serotina) comes from the Black Cherry tree which has a wide distribution from eastern Canada through the eastern half of the United States and as far south as the Gulf of Mexico. Although Cherry does grow in New Hampshire (and we saw local Cherry in our mill as Native Cherry), most lumber is taken from Appalachia where the trees naturally thrive.
Cherry heartwood varies in color from a light to dark reddish brown that deepens with exposure over time. The sapwood is nearly white and is narrow in old growth trees, but much wider in second-growth trees. Cherry machines very well and is prized for its distinctive and attractive luster. It is of medium density, firm, and strong, with a fine, uniform texture. The grain is generally straight. Although there is much shrinkage in the drying process, it is generally very dimensionally stable once dry.
Cherry is used for furniture, fine veneers, and architectural woodwork.
