Yes, Cherry is luscious to work with. I made my Swede from a tree that fell in my woods. Checkers wonderful. Sitka deer is correct about drying. Mine was up in the barn for years when I searched for stock wood. I took it to the basement to dry more with the dehumidifier down there, another month before I cut. OOPS, files are too large to attach.
