Oil and Wax Cherry

Cherry is finished with oil and wax. This method of wood finishing was commonly used before the 20th century. Its characteristics are quite different from the varnish used on most of our wood samples. It is available only in a clear finish (no colored stains available), it is not as smooth to the touch, and it requires reapplication of oil and wax every few years to maintain the finish. The benefit of this finish is that it has a unique appearance (it has very little shine or lustre), and is easier to touch up and repair.

Cherry Hardwood

Cherry is a straight grained hardwood with a very uniform texture and a rich luster. Its heartwood is light to dark reddish brown. Cherry darkens gradually with age and sunlight, talking on more deep red and brown coloration. This change in color is substantial. Its species name is Prunus Serotina. Its Janka rating (hardness and resistance to scrapes, gouges and cuts) is 950.
