Prunus avium. Air and kiln dried.
All dimensions shown are in inches (diameter x thickness).
Wild cherry or Gaskin as it is known locally, rarely grows larger in the UK than two feet in diameter as a useful tree.
Our current 3" cherry is American, 2" and less, English.
Fresh sawn, the timber is pale brown with prominent streaks varying from darker brown to reds and even green, mellowing to a rich honey brown over time, with an almost translucent depth to the grain.
It is kind to turn - almost soft - yet is firm enough to take fine, crisp detail.
For end grain hollowing too, it is probably one of our easiest timbers, so is suited to a wide range of projects. Accepts all finishes very well and will darken to a deep honey colour with age.
Cherry is prone to small dead knots which may be present in some blanks.
Larger blanks than 12” diameter might be available in 3”, do contact us.
