American Black Cherry veneer is famous for its warm, reddish-brown color and its tendency to rapidly deepen with exposure to light. Within a short time, natural light will push the color four to five shades darker, developing a rich patina that woodworkers look for. It features a fine, smooth texture, a mostly even grain with subtle wavy effects, and distinct dark gum pockets scattered throughout the flitches.

Whether you are building high-end cabinetry or restoring an antique, cherry finishes to an impressive luster and takes stain exceptionally well—historically used to imitate mahogany.

Quick Specifications

  • Color: Medium reddish-brown that darkens quickly with light and air exposure.
