Where Cherry Wood Comes From

Cherry is a North American hardwood. It grows across the eastern part of the country, with most boards coming from the Black Cherry tree. The trees grow tall and straight, which gives long, clear lengths of wood.

This wood has been a favorite with furniture makers for hundreds of years. People have always loved it for its even grain and its warm look.

Color and Grain

Fresh cherry starts out a light pinkish brown. Over time it darkens into a rich, deep reddish brown. Sunlight speeds this up, so your project will keep getting better looking for months. This color change is one of the main reasons folks pick cherry.

The grain is fine and mostly straight, with a smooth, satin look. You may see small gum streaks or tiny pin knots, which add real character to each board.

How Hard and Strong It Is

Cherry is a medium hardwood. It sits around 950 on the Janka hardness scale, so it is softer than maple or oak but still tough enough for everyday use. That softer side is part of why it shapes and carves so well.

It holds detail nicely and stays put once it is dry. The wood is stable and does not move much, which makes it a safe bet for careful joinery.
