Cherry wood:

Each engagement ring box is hand crafted and engraved to your specifications.

Uses:
In cabinetmaking, cherry is rated one of the favorites because of its beauty and versatility… it has warmth, personality and charm. As a craftwood it cuts,stains and sands beautifully, which makes it a hobby wood of choice.

American black cherry is widely used for paneling and as a veneer, burial caskets and other specialty items such as gunstocks, tobacco pipes, musical instruments, turnery, carvings, etc. It is only moderately durable for outdoor projects. Cherry wood is my personal favorite, of all the domestic wood species.

The Tree: Prunus Serotina Family
Black cherry stands alone for its commercial value as a lumber wood. Other cherry trees most often function as decorative trees or fruit bearers. Black cherry is characterized by late maturing fruit and is distinct from the other cherries because it has dark bark with irregular scales that peel off easily and a light to dark reddish brown heartwood.

The fruit of this tree is small and purple coloured with a bitter taste and is used to flavour jelly and beverages. At one point it was used to make a very potent liquor. American colonists used the bark as a drug to treat bronchitis and cherry stalks were used to make tonics. Its grows predominately in east-central North America, with smaller shorter trees more common in southern eastern Canada.
