Why Choose Cherry?
American cherry lumber enchants with its deep, warm tones and refined silky grain. Celebrated for its exceptional workability and resilience, it epitomizes timeless elegance and the rich heritage of American woodworking.
Get your hands on a wood you've never tried before! It's simple. Samples are milled on all sides to the standard size of 1/2'' X 3'' X 6'', as determined by The International Wood Collectors Society, and include the shipping cost within the 48 U.S. Each one is labeled with the botanical and common names. Use these to test finishes and stains, to compare color and grain characteristics, etc.
| Thickness | 1/2" (≈ 1/2" approx) |
| Width | 3" |
| Length | 6" |
| Grade | Samples are milled on all sides, cut square and sanded; wood is a product of nature with inconsistencies from piece to piece. Use species samples as a guide, not a perfect representation. |

Great product to assess the wood; arrived in a "ready-to-finish" state. This will do just fine for my project.
