Veneer species

Black Cherry

Black Cherry

Origin:

Northeastern regions of the U.S. (from Pennsylvania to West Virginia)

Color:

Orange-red to red-brown

Characteristics:

Fine pores and very regular with a typical, natural semi gloss. Occasional small resin pockets (so-called gums) are typical.

Application:

A sought-after type of wood for interior finishing and luxury furniture. Especially esteemed owing to its ability to combine well not only with light or dark wood, but also with other materials, such as glass and steel.

A modern classic: aristocratic, calm and balanced, high-quality and dignified, but with no rustic feel.
