My father gave me several pieces of white birch and cherry from his house after he had some trees removed from his yard. They are typically 3 to 6 inches in diameter. It's been drying for a little over a year and I figure it should be ready to turn in the spring. I know the birch will be good for making needles and darters, just not sure about the cherry. I assume since it's a hardwood it would also be good for sinking/diving plugs. Just wondering if anyone here has experience with it and what I can do with it. Is it even good for plugs?

Thanks in advance for the input.
