Cherry Wood Question?

Look around the stump and see if there are any pits, Larry.

I can not tell a lie.

FYI i use cherry at work for all my woodn shaping tools. Cherry does not like to burn. Or lat least the wet cherry that i use that has been soaked in water can take a serious heat whoopin and not burn. you might have to dry it out for a long time to get it to burn

If you are drying it as a log, be sure to either remove the bark or at least run the chainsaw the length of the piece just through the bark.

I turned some cherry that I got from a cabinet shop and it works awsome.

If you are turning for fun try some green, it is beautiful. Makes nice bowls green just complete them before it dries and they dry oval shaped...

not only does cherry smell good when it burns but if you use waste scraps of it (even chips from turnings) in a smoker, it will impart a wonderful flavor to whatever you're smoking. i don't waste anything from cherry except maybe the bark.

Nebe.
I turned some plugs this fall with Cherry.
They were so purty I couldn't paint the wood. Put it in your drying pile and think about future uses.
