CHERRY WOOD
 Cherry is grown in the Eastern half of the U.S.. It is sometimes called fruitwood. The term fruitwood
is also used to describe a light brown finish on other woods. A moderately hard, strong, closed grain, light to red-brown wood, cherry resists warping and checking. It is easy to carve and polish. Cherry veneers and solids are used in a variety of styles. Cherry has been called New England mahogany and is often used to craft 18th century, Colonial and French Provincial designs.
