General Characteristics: Curly
cherry does not have the same type of figure as curly maple
and it is very difficult to find outstanding figure.
As with any figured wood you have varying degrees of figure...some
good, some better and the best. This is especially true in
curly
cherry. Quality figure appears in less than 2% of all the cherry
trees harvested.
