Which is better, North American red oak or South American cherry wood?
Cherry wood has medium density and good bending performance, which is better than oak, but it has low rigidity, medium strength and poor vibration resistance. Cherry wood has excellent coating properties that oak and other tree species can't surpass. Cherry wood also has a uniform wood structure, so its coating performance is also very good. Cherry wood furniture just bought back, the color will appear a faint red, but with the passage of time, the color on the cherry wood furniture watch will gradually become darker, and the longer the time, the deeper the more valuable it is. Another difference between cherry wood and oak is that cherry wood is easier to be processed by hand or machine, and cherry wood has low wear on tools, while oak is the opposite.
