SWEET CHERRY

CHERRY HAS A BEAUTY THAT IS HARD TO DESCRIBE. NOTE THE GREAT CONTRAST BETWEEN THE DARKER HEARTWOOD AND THE LIGHTER, OUTER SAPWOOD. HARDER THAN BIRCH BY FAR, IT SUBSEQUENTLY CAN BE A CHALLENGE TO TURN. FRESH CUT CHERRY WILL ALSO "MOVE" CONSIDERABLY, BUT I BELIEVE THAT IT MAKES EACH BOWL UNIQUE AND ENHANCES THEIR BEAUTY.
