W•D Northern Wisconsin
Cherry

Sophisticated and elegant, Cherry is considered the premier of North American hardwoods. The quality in terms of color and grain of Cherry in Wisconsin is a well kept secret within the lumber industry and is by far the most sought after region for Cherry in North America. The varying grades allow one to be rather grand or casual in the floors appearance. Extremely light sensitive, cherry darkens dramatically over time and character marks become distinguishing features. Color can range significantly between boards, with shades ranging from light to dark reddish-brown to light pink. Cherry is 25 percent softer than Red Oak.
