Black Cherry is unique among the worlds furniture woods in that it is the only major timber belonging to the rose family. Many furniture makers rank Black Cherry near the top as their favorite lumber. All of the fine furniture at Penny Mustard is available in Cherry wood including bedroom furniture, entertainment furniture, dining room furniture, home office, and occasional furniture.
This beautiful wood features a vibrant color, fine grain, and high luster that suit it superbly to furniture making. Black Cherry is also known for its markings; most Black Cherry wood has prominent gum streaks and or small knots throughout its fine grain. These are not considered defects and most woodworkers like the way the pockets highlight the grain patterns and reward the eye. Black Cherry in a natural finish has a beautiful lustrous color that gets darker with age, most notably in its first year of being finished. Many woodworkers stain Black Cherry with darker stains and if stained dark enough, virtually eliminates this lumber from darkening any further. The demand for Black Cherry is at an all time high, making it increasingly harder to find and higher in price. Many believe that, if taken care of, Black Cherry furniture will increase in value indefinitely.
The Venetian Collection has been all hand built out of solid Black Cherry and is one of the many fine furniture collections available at Penny Mustard. The fine lines, solid wood construction and beautiful curves make this bedroom set at Penny Mustard one of the finest available in all of the world.
