Any tips on working with flatsawn cherry?

Post by Christopher Perkins »

Hey all

After hours and hours of work on my ambrosia maple back, (and after completing the custom inlay...) my cat knocked my mold on top of it and destroyed it. :evil: Cats lucky to be alive...more on that later....

The long and short of it is that I bought a new cherry back and side set to replace it. This will be the first time I have worked with cherry...anyone have any experience/tips to share? :?:

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! :D

Any reason for selecting flat sawn?

Basically treat it like maple.
