Working and finishing Cherry
Machines and turns cleanly with minimal tear-out on straight-grained stock; gum pockets can appear and dull cutters slightly. Expect noticeable colour shift over the first weeks to months of light exposure, so match boards from the same batch.
Prone to blotching under wiped oil stains because of variable density between early and late wood, so a gel stain or wash coat evens absorption; often finished with just oil or clear film to let the natural colour develop. Long-standing food-contact wood for cutting boards.
Sold as is. Grain, colour and figure vary from piece to piece. Confirm the dimensions your build needs before you buy.
