Character
Black Cherry is fine porous and very straight with a typical and natural, pale shine. Compared to European Cherry the American equivalent is slightly darker. Small resin pockets (so-called "gums") feature occasionally.

Black Cherry has a good mechanical strength and can be easily stained, paled and polished. Black Cherry tends to slightly turn darker when exposed to light.

Description
A modern classic. Noble, calm and balanced, top-quality and subtle, non-country-style. It is organic and pleasant.
