Comments:
Cherry tends to darken with age. Sapwood and
heartwood have very different colors. WARNING: Some cherry is harvested from old orchards. These trees were often sprayed
with pesticides which were then absorbed into the tree. Special care should be taken to
control sawdust and minimize exposure to dust.
