Birdseye Black Cherry
Not a distinct species of maple; considered a growth/grain anomaly. Called birdseye because the tiny knots in the grain resemble small bird’s eyes. The figure is reportedly caused by unfavorable growing conditions for the tree. The tree attempts to start numerous new buds to get more sunlight, but with poor growing conditions the new shoots are aborted, and afterward a number of tiny knots remain.
Black Cherry (Prunus serotina) is commonly used to create furniture, flooring, veneer, and decorative objects. The wood is a pinkish brown color when freshly cut but turns a rich reddish color as it ages.
Features:
Wood Dimensions: 1” x .75”
