Cherry wood is considered to be a softwood. Called the “wine of woods,” cherry becomes more beautiful as it ages. Over time, cherry grain transforms from a reddish brown to a dark rich grain with an auburn glow. Cherry’s straight, subtle grain, give furniture a distinctive, elegant character. This top prize wood is the choice for constructing superior quality heirloom furniture.
Rustic Cherry is cut and processed in a way that shows off cherry’s natural knots and gum pockets. By carefully selecting cuts and strategically placing the wood’s features, a craftsman can create a one of a kind piece of hand made furniture.
While both types of cherry get better with age, they are an excellent choice for long-lasting Amish furniture.
