Cherry Amercian Black

Trade Name :
Cherry, American Cherry, Black Cherry

Origin :
North America

Uses :
Very good sliced veneer for faces. As lumber it is preferred for architectural panels and furniture. Good qualities are always in demand. However, due to this heavy demand it is becoming more and more difficult to find American Black Cherry in good qualities. It is also very much sought after as lumber.

Properties :
The color of the heartwood is orange-reddish to reddish-brown with a satiny finish. Unlike the European Cherry the wood darkens considerably. This is why the European Cherry is considerably more select and purer in color than the American Black Cherry.

Jointing :
Cherry can be glued without difficulty. Screw and nail joints hold well but should be pre-drilled.
