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

Thats mighty good of brother in law to safely store a stash like that :) That sure is some pretty stuff.
Stewardship Counts!

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.

You could sell that in a heartbeat at a great price. Seems everybody around here wants cherry, the only wood I have trouble getting.
My job is to do everything nobody else felt like doing today

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.

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.
