Most beautiful color indeed.  I've got a cherry stock and need to get busy with it.
Many of them cried; "Me no Alamo - Me no Goliad", and for most of them these were the last words they spoke.

I like the color. I also have a cherry stock I need to get working on. What did you use for finish on the wood?

I like what I see so far.   Waiting for more pics.

 I don't generally bother with Photoshop or Lightroom for stuff I post online.   It just goes up the way I take it, usually with my iPhone.    Isn't that terrible for a professional photographer.  ;)

Cherry can have some grrrrreat figure and the color just keeps getting better. I much prefer it over walnut. Thanks for the pix.
