These are black cherry boards sold by the piece. Cherry is known for its rich color and good workability. The wood leaves the sawmill with a pinkish, rosy tone and darkens over the years to a deep, lustrous red. The narrow sapwood is creamy in color, similar to Hard Maple.
Every board is machined S4S (surfaced on all 4 sides) to actual dimensions. Boards are planed to 1/8", 1/4", 1/2" and 3/4" thicknesses. Cherry works easily with hand tools and takes an excellent finish and polish.
Thin boards suit edging, veneering, marquetry, decorative box sides, bending stock and bent laminations.
