40mm
We offer our Cherry worktops in 40mm stave style. The stave size refers to the width of the smaller individual lengths of timber which make up the worktop.
North American Cherry is a dense wood with a close grain and a fine, even texture. The truly amazing thing about cherry is its depth. The colour can deepen from both oiling and exposure to light, and has distintive and beautiful gold and salmonish-pink highlights throughout. When it has been sanded, cherry can develop almost a glass-like finish.
You may be able to buy cheaper Cherry worktops, but we urge you to compare samples first. You will really see the difference it makes, versus lesser quality alternatives, when you buy top grade, properly selected and colour matched, North American Cherry. The small difference in price really does create a huge leap in quality, which is why we exclusively use North American Cherry for all our solid Cherry worktops.
It is obvious from the photographs that we only use furniture grade Cherry, but what may not be so clear is just how specific we are when we select our timber. Cherry is not only graded for knots, defects and sap wood, but in the upper grades - i.e. furniture grades - it is also graded for colour, gum pockets, pith marks and general consistency. The Cherry timber we use is called 95/50, which means the top surface must be at least 95 % red (as opposed to cream) and the underside at least 50 %. We also specify a limit on gum pockets, pith marks, and pay particular attention to a consistent grain.
Our North American Super Stave Cherry is an amazing worktop. The photographs simply don't do Cherry justice, as the ribbons of gold and salmon pink and the incredible depth of the wood just can't be conveyed in a picture. Constructed of the finest furniture grade wood from New York State, our Cherry Super Stave worktops are the premium of Cherry Worktops.
