Cherry is renowned among woodworkers and furniture aficionados for its color and aging process. It starts out a light pink and darkens over time to a rich reddish hue with a lustrous patina.
You may be surprised to learn that natural cherry wood changes colors over time and that the color can vary greatly between trees and even among different boards from the same tree. While many types of wood can darken over time, this process can be very distinct when dealing with cherry wood.
You can accelerate the aging process by exposing the wood to as much natural light as possible. Both processes cause chemical changes in the molecules of the wood that affects how light reflects off the surface. Cherry is perhaps the most prized furniture hardwood in America. Most of the highest grade cherry is used for this purpose.
However, mid- and lower-tier cherry wood is often found in kitchen cabinets and wood flooring. Cherry wood has a smooth, closed grain pattern, much like that of maple wood. As with any natural product, we expect and embrace unique characteristics in the wood grain. A single cherry wood board can have several contrasting grain patterns depending on the growth of the tree.
It is not uncommon to find different grain contrasts in the same piece of solid cherry wood furniture. When choosing boards for your furniture, our craftsmen typically focus on the darker heartwood, although occasionally there will be some sapwood.
Our craftsmen will take the time to select and join boards that have the best available color and grain match. Because cherry wood is milled from the deciduous prunus serotina , it is indeed considered a hardwood. All of the woods our craftspeople work with at Vermont Woods Studios are classified as hardwoods.
