Veneer Black Cherry 0.56 mm

The simple, elegant and balanced appearance of the wood gives the American cherry tree a certain timelessness. The American cherry tree darkens more than the European cherry tree. Tangentially, fine veins and radially varied stripes are visible. In addition, fine medullary rays appear as brightly shining mirrors.
