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.
You'll notice that the pictures below are a bit on the dark side. This was the result of a small issue during photography process. The veneers shown below are much brighter.
