Introduction to Cherry Wood

Cherry wood is a hardwood that belongs to the rose family and is typically found in the northern temperate regions. It has a rich, reddish-orange color with a watermarked appearance and natural black mineral streaks in the wood grain.

The texture of cherry wood is similar to that of black walnut, with a smooth and delicate feel that lacks the pronounced grain pattern of other woods. One unique characteristic of cherry wood is that its color deepens and becomes more red over time, which adds to its overall beauty and character.

Cherry wood was a popular choice for furniture during the Middle Ages, and it continues to be used today for its timeless and vintage aesthetic.

Cherry wood has a warm, orange hue with a delicate and smooth grain pattern. It has natural dark mineral streaks in the wood, and once dried, it has excellent stability and is less prone to warping, cracking, or insect damage compared to other woods. In comparison to white oak, cherry wood has a deeper color and finer grain pattern.

Differences between Cherry Wood and Birch Wood

Birch wood is a different type of hardwood that is similar in color and grain pattern to cherry wood. While both cherry and birch are primarily found in the United States, they are distinct tree species with different properties. Cherry wood is considered to be superior in terms of quality and is more expensive, so consumers should take care to differentiate between the two when selecting furniture.

Introduction to Walnut Wood

Black walnut wood belongs to the walnut family and is a precious wood native to the United States. It mainly grows in broad-leaved hardwood forests in the temperate zone of North America.

Its natural color is deep and mostly brown or chocolate-colored. The grain is graceful and varied, with a strong artistic sense. The texture is delicate and silky, making it look very luxurious.

What's even rarer is that black walnut wood is very stable in nature and is one of the least likely to crack or deform among common hardwoods.

Due to its outstanding properties, black walnut wood is highly favored by designers and is used in expensive pianos, yacht and car interiors, and avant-garde artistic spaces.

 Varied and Artistic Grain

Affected by the large temperature difference between day and night and the cold winter in the Appalachian Mountains, black walnut wood has irregular grain patterns and unique black and gray lines.

It is rare for a type of wood to have two different grain patterns, but black walnut wood has six: wave pattern, mountain pattern, straight line pattern, golden nodule pattern, bird peck pattern, and water drop pattern.
