Cherry is an American classic! The black cherry tree can grow to 100 feet tall and have a trunk diameter of up to 5 feet. Only the finest cherry logs are selected for veneer. We're are proud to offer a nice selection of curly and other figured cherry veneers below. Cherry is most known for the beautiful cathedral grain found on 'flat cut' veneer and lumber.
