The grain is straight, finely textured and close with usually a gentle waving figure. Cherry has a uniform texture, is medium heavy, strong, stiff and moderately hard.

The bowls pictured are from cherry logs rescued from a fire pit. They had been cut a while and where really cracking as they dried but I think they make interesting bowls.
