Cherry

 

Cherry is used mainly in traditional looks, but can also be used for an urban contemporary look on flat panel door styles.  Cherry wood is synonymous with luxurious cabinets.  The rich red highlights give the wood a distinctive appearance.  Cherry wood will occasionally have tiny pin knots, pitch pockets and very small, dark streaks of gum.  These features have fascinated woodworkers for centuries.
