Cherry is one of the most beloved domestic hardwoods, prized for its rich, reddish-brown heartwood that deepens into a beautiful, lustrous patina with age.

Measuring 1/4" thick x 1-1/2" wide x 9" long, this slim, precision-cut blank is ideal for adding warm contrasting accents to furniture, musical instruments, and decorative inlay work. Whether you are a professional woodworker or a passionate hobbyist, Cherry offers exceptional versatility and enduring beauty.
