Relative Working & Physical Properties

Cherry has a medium density and good wood bending properties. It dries quickly and exhibits large shrinkage.
The real value of Cherry lies in its attractive color and excellent wood working properties. Cherry machines
easily, nails and glues rather well and produces a truly outstanding finish when stained or polished.
