When I worked at a cabinet shop, cherry was my favorite wood besides curly maple.

I have cherry wood cabinets in the house. I've loved that stuff since junior high shop class. Too bad it does grow anywhere near here...

Yes, I also have Black Cherry kitchen cabinets built from the trees I cut. Too bad Black Cherry is a deadbeat on the hardwood lumber market, it used to be one of the most valuable northern hardwood species. Today, mills are sawing into Pallet stock, railroad ties and crane mat timbers.
How do you like the Norwood mill ?

Cherry makes a heck of a good acoustic guitar, too. Backs, sides, and stable enough to carve the necks from. Works, looks and sounds a lot like Honduran mahogany.
A log that size would yield many back and side sets, but really would need to be quarter sawn for the tonewood market, not to mention handled and dried properly after sawing to prevent end cracks and checking while it's drying.

Just sold a 22" cherry to a wood worker for $75. A few years ago, same log $200.

I have some black cherry on my property. They seem almost like a weed on my property. I've known since woodworking class that cherry is a premier wood. Maybe my black cherry are just not liking the soil. I'm thinking of cutting some down to encourage more oaks

Yeah, looks to be veneer quality unless it has excess gum.

Nice looking log !!!
I've got a bunch of cherry on my place. Shame the price is down. This log needed to go a couple years ago. So I sectioned it into three 8 footers and had a guy saw it 12/4". Made 7 live edge planks from 11"-17" wide. Should make some nice projects for someone...........bar.....bench......counter........mantle..........

I have too many black cherry trees that have suckers coming out of them at the base. I think now after season it's going to be a good time of year to go in and cull some out to try to encourage the oaks to thrive. The Cherry don't seem to grow well on my property and are almost more like brush, but they don't seem to benefit deer much, and none seem to be the type that will produce timber. I suppose if I just cut them off they'll resprout and grow back like a bush

I have a bunch of cherry I milled but it doesn't have that "POP" when it's finished, what do you finish Cherry with to get it to "POP" with that beautiful cherry color?

Do you slab everything? I think you can cut in different ways to get better lumber.

My favorite firewood tree, the smell of it burning on a frosty day is just heavenly! reminds me of Cherry blend pipe tobacco.

Anything you build from cherry just gets darker with age. I built two staircases and kitchen cabinets from local cherry, and left some sapwood to give it some appeal. Turned out very nicely. My sister has kitchen cabinets from commercial wood, and it is now so dark, you cannot see the grain in it anywhere. Sanding it is like a dose of hay fever for me. I doubt I’ll ever work with it much again because of the reaction I get from it.
