Cherry is elegant, prestigious,
stately. The presence of cherry in a home or

exclusivity.
It is easy to machine, nails
and glues well and when sanded and stained, it
produces an excellent smooth finish. It dries
fairly quickly with moderately high shrinkage, but
is dimensionally stable after kiln-drying.
