The sapwood of the cherry tree is a creamy white color, with a
fine, uniform, straight grain and a satiny-smooth texture. It may
also naturally contain brown flecks and small gum pockets.
Cherry is a light, strong
hardwood used to
manufacture many types
of products, including
furniture, interiors,
cabinetry, and as a
decorative veneer.
Cherry heartwood ranges
from from a deep, rich
red to reddish brown,
and will darken both with
age and with exposure to
natural light.
