Cherry is a well known species, it’s popularity goes way back in history to the story of George Washington chopping down the cherry tree. It’s fruit makes wonderful cherry pies, and the wood of the cherry tree has been used in making fine furniture for hundreds of years. The rich color of this species only gets better with age, as the door ages in its environment the pinkish brown to rusty red tones get deeper and richer in color that will add unsurpassed beauty to any room in your house. It looks beautiful in a natural clear finish, some people like it stained in a dark cherry stain as was common years ago, either way or anyway in between, cherry adds charm. It also looks very nice with painted trim in the house, it seems to set off the beauty of the cherry wood even more. Cherry also looks very nice with birch or maple when used in a mixed species door. For example you could have a door with birch stile and rails with cherry panels. Mix and match the species any way you would like to create your own unique door to compliment your kitchen cabinets or color scheme of your home.
