The heartwood of cherry varies from rich red to reddish brown and will darken with age and on exposure to light. The wood has a fine uniform, straight grain, satiny, smooth texture, and may naturally contain brown pith flecks and small gum pockets. The wood is of medium density and has low stiffness and medium strength and shock resistance. Cherry is 3.9 percent of total commercially available U.S. hardwoods and is readily available.
