Tone
The heartwood of cherry varies from a rich red to reddish brown, while the sapwood is creamy-white in contrast. Over time it will darken with exposure to light and heat. Cherry wood has a natural reddish hue and this warmth is intensified by all of the cherry stains. -
Grain
Cherry wood has a fine satin-smooth texture and a circular grain pattern. The wood may also naturally contain brown pith flecks and small pit pockets. When stained, this fine grain has a very even-toned finish. -
Durability
Because it is a softer hardwood, it is more prone to denting with heavy use. -
Overall Look
The fine grain pattern is perfect for a formal, traditional look or an updated transitional feel. -
Density
Cherry has a rating of 950 on the Janka Hardness scale*.
