About Black Cherry:

Prized for its rich color and fine graining, black cherry is commonly seen in American cabinetry and furniture. The fine, satiny texture of the wood is uniform and frequently wavy, with distinctive gum veins and pockets. The lustrous heartwood ranges from a light pinkish brown when freshly cut to a dark reddish or golden brown when aged and exposed to light. Black cherry is extremely light-sensitive, so there is a strong color change and darkening over a short period time when the wood is first exposed to light. Cherry’s colors can be rapidly darkened and aged through exposure to direct sunlight.

The sapwood stands in sharp contrast with the heartwood. It is often a pale yellow to light brown to a light pinkish tone. Black Cherry has a fine texture with closed pores. Its grain is often straight, except in figured pieces which have a curly grain pattern.

Black Cherry’s heartwood is very durable and decay resistant. The wood has a good strength-to-weight ratio.
