| Name: |
American Cherry |
|
| Origin: |
North America |
|
| Description: |
American Cherry has a cream colored sapwood which contrasts sharply with the reddish heartwood. In the heartwood the color can range from a pinkish red to darker red. American Cherry also has small dark brown gum veins that are part of the character of this species. |
|
| Light Sensativity: |
American Cherry undergoes an extreme degree of color change with pronounced darkening from a pale pink color when fresh milled to a dark reddish color when fully aged. This process occurs within a few weeks in direct sunlight and by oxidation, out of sunlight, over a six to eight month period. |
