Cherry Wood

Material Surface Finish Natural

Description

Natural cherry traits like the tiny brown pith flakes, pin knots, and gum pockets or

streaks can vary from location to region. Traditional woodworkers and builders have

used cherry for many years because of its high quality as a beautiful, straight-grain

hardwood. It offers high shock resistance, a very strong texture, and a moderate

hardness. In addition to being strong, cherry wood is renowned for having a stunning

beauty.

Why This Material Was Chosen ?

I have chosen this material because cherry wood is an expensive material and

recreating this material will be more cost-efficient. Cherry wood has also a very

unique look and feel to it and creates an impression of quality and longevity which

in a result, giving a more hand made and vintage look to a product.
