Description
Most people visualize cherry wood with a reddish-brown color. This is indeed the tone seen in most cherry furniture. However, a fair amount of cherry also has a distinctively grayish cast, while other pieces have a light straw color. The freshly cut heartwood is usually light amber in tone, but will darken considerably with age and exposure to sunlight. Cherry sapwood is even lighter in color, from white to a light red-brown. Cherry wood often has black “pitch marks” which appear as small, dark lines. These are not considered defects, but are in fact inherent to the wood itself. Cherry is stiff, strong, and moderately hard.
This is a sample of Adelphi Kitchens’ natural finish. There is no color or stain applied to this sample, and its appearance is due entirely to the characteristics of the piece of wood. A natural finish cabinet will have many pieces of wood that will vary in color, tint, and possible mineral streaking which occurs randomly. These variations are not considered defects. Neither Adelphi Kitchens nor any Adelphi Dealer can be held responsible for these naturally occurring variations.
