Black cherry wood uses?

<< < (2/2)

WhistlingBadger:
If black cherry is anything like the chokecherry around here, it's beautiful stuff.  Our local chokecherry is useless for bows (might make good corkscrews, though).  The grain patterns in it make me really with I knew how to do actual woodworking.  I would love some bowls, furniture, and/or musical instruments made of that stuff.  Makes nice knife handles, too.

Eric, I met Jimmy Taylor years ago at the South eastern championships out side of Elberton, Ga. I bought a bunch of hickory backing strips from him. They all had grain violations on them but as far as I know none of those backing strips failed. He always wore buck skins when I saw him. He sold tons of those little bows of his.
