Jerry: Your reply on cherry wood ( I call it whiskey cherry) reminds me of my vagrant youth when I started in the banking business in Lawrence , Kansas. I had a guy probably in his 60's , (I was maybe 22 at the time) who owed the bank some money and couldn't seem to rake up the bucks. He owned a sawmill at Vinland , Kansas and we got to talking wood one day. I told him I would catch his account up to date one day if he would bring me some fancy wood sawed for stock blanks. He said he had walnut and cherry. About 2 weeks later he showed up with a flat bed stacked 2 feet high with both, sawed 3" to 4 1/2" thick. A DEAL was struck!!!! Rhiney Fajen and I used all this up in a couple years. Lee.
