Some know I have been very slowly moving from north Missouri to NW Arkansas. I have heavily sold a lot of hardwood in the last year just to avoid moving it and the end is in sight. The boss reminded me today to pick up a stack I had stored in her brothers shed some years ago...honey what stack? ??? ??? Found 600 bf of black cherry and all with the same curl. :) :) Some was quartersawn and had a delicate flake plus curl. The camera couldn't catch that. The boards were mostly in the 6 to 10" wide range which is pretty good for what we have in north Missouri. I remember now why I stored it at her brothers place...I didn't want anybody to know I had it or they might try and buy it...and I don't like to share the good stuff. ;D

Pretty Wood. Must be female cherry
Wish I'd find a stash like that. ;D
Thats mighty good of brother in law to safely store a stash like that :) That sure is some pretty stuff.
I see some serious flaws in those boards. *ahem* You'd be better off if I take them off your hands I think.
:D
Nice score - I wish I had a bank of cherry like that.
Ouch, Larry. That really hurts for you to show us up so shamelessly :D.
How can you forget about boards like that!?! :o 600BF and its all got curl like that? 8) 8) 8)
You could sell that in a heartbeat at a great price. Seems everybody around here wants cherry, the only wood I have trouble getting.
I offer free storage services as well smiley_wavy
Very nice looking wood Larry. I would be hanging on to it as well.

You're one lucky guy Larry, not because of the beautiful cherry but because every bil I know would have sold it and said "what wood". :D
Make something pretty, Larry. That's some incredible wood.
Mark
That's some awesome wood Larry............ ;D ;D ;D
Unbelieveable figure 8) You are very wise to keep it hidden unless you want to part with it.
You know, the title of this topic would probably make a good Ben & Jerrys ice cream flavor.
:)
"Around 600 bf of black cherry and all with the same curl."
I don't like to share either. If you ever need to part with it. let me know. I am in Oklahoma.
Larry,
I am currently making a blanket chest for my middle daughter out of cherry. The cherry growing around here never seems to be straight and never gets too big. It also has a lot of gum pockets and streaks.
I could just imagine what a blanket chest made from that curly cherry would look like :).
That's very nice grain to that cherry. I seem to recall a number of years ago finding a piece of furniture made of cherry with similar grain and i can't for the life of me picture where it was. Not very common, in dead it would be rare in these parts.
Saving it for something special Larry? ;D
SwampDonky , Larry forgot that he stored that at his BILs place because he promised to sell it to me . I had forgotten about it also till he posted the pictures. Been just too busy building a house . Now I need that cherry to trim the master bath.
