Cherry

Sourced from North America, an orange/reddish to a reddish brown in colour. It sometimes contains a black deposit in the grain and also you can find some logs with figure, which when finished look very attractive. It also can have small pin knots which in the character grade can look attractive when trying to replicate old weathered look. When exposed to light it does tend to darken fairly quickly but this often adds to the warm mellowtone of the wood.
