American Black Cherry

American Black Cherry

This deciduous tree is native to North America, but only trees from the northeastern United States to Canada are important for veneer production.
The wood is constantly in demand as veneer for interior design and furniture. It is produced almost exclusively as knife veneer.
In contrast to European cherry, the overall color impression is darker. It also lacks the green streak. Another distinguishing feature is small deposits of “gum,” a dark, resin-like deposit in the wood caused by injury or stress to the plant.
Like European cherry, black cherry is easy to work with and dries without any problems. It glues well.
