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.
Looking for large sheets of this species? We also offer it in premium grade paper-backed veneer, which can be applied with contact cement and other veneer adhesives.
