Flat Cut Cherry is a classic American hardwood, cherished for its warm, reddish-brown tones that deepen beautifully with age and light exposure. Sourced from the Prunus serotina tree, also known as American or Black Cherry, this wood is a favorite in fine furniture and cabinetry. The Flat Cut slicing method showcases the wood’s recognizable cathedral grain pattern, creating a flowing and elegant appearance. Its smooth, satiny texture and inviting color palette bring a sense of warmth and sophistication to any interior, making it a timeless choice for a variety of applications.
Flat Cut Cherry Veneer
Flat Cut Cherry veneer captures the essence of solid Cherry wood in a thin, versatile sheet. This veneer is prized for its tight, uniform grain and rich color, which ranges from a light pinkish-red to a deep reddish-brown. It is a hardwood that is strong and easy to work with. Standard A-grade Cherry veneer often includes natural characteristics such as occasional pin knots and small dark resin spots known as gum pockets, which add to its authentic character. It is typically book-matched, with the grain running along the 8-foot dimension, creating a symmetrical and cohesive look ideal for larger surfaces. While it accepts stains well, Cherry is most often finished with a clear coat to preserve the warmth and enhance the natural beauty of the wood’s color as it darkens over time. Popular uses include high-end cabinetry, architectural panels, door skins, and custom furniture.
Flat Cut Cherry Plywood
Flat Cut Cherry plywood offers the coveted look of cherry on a stable, strong, and cost-effective engineered panel. This product consists of a durable core overlaid with a face and back of high-quality Flat Cut Cherry veneer. The plywood construction provides excellent dimensional stability, resisting the warping and movement that can affect solid wood, which is especially beneficial for large-scale projects. This makes it an ideal material for kitchen cabinets, custom built-ins, wall paneling, and furniture manufacturing where both beauty and performance are required. The presence of natural features like pith flecks and gum pockets is common in Cherry plywood, adding to its organic and authentic appearance.
