At MapleLeaf Hardwoods, we take great pride in offering exclusive Private Stock Curly Cherry, a rare and exquisite selection perfect for discerning craftsmen. This unique hardwood stands as a testament to our commitment as a premier hardwood supplier, where quality meets artistry. Our curly cherry is hand-selected to ensure that only the finest boards meet our rigorous standards.

The allure of curly cherry can be traced back to its remarkable beauty, reminiscent of this captivating photograph taken in 1910 at one of the lumber mills along the Susquehanna River. This image prompts a thought-provoking question: “How did they get up there in the first place?” The ingenuity of early lumber workers showcases the deep-rooted tradition of craftsmanship and the dedication required to source beautiful woods like curly cherry.

However, it’s essential to note that curly cherry does not display the same figure as curly maple, making outstanding examples quite challenging to find. Less than 2% of all harvested cherry trees yield the exceptional figure that characterizes our Private Stock Curly Cherry. To provide you with the best options, we meticulously curate only 0.5% of the exceptionally figured curly cherry available—approximately one board in every 200 boards we assess.

To guarantee our customers receive unparalleled figured material, we adhere to strict selection standards:

1. Each board must exhibit an above-average figure throughout its entirety.

2. Most selections fall under the FAS (First and Second) lumber grade, ensuring top quality.

3. We prioritize boards featuring at least 80% heartwood on one face, with many boasting 100% heartwood on both faces. Occasionally, a mix of heartwood and sapwood may appear on both faces.

4. Our exclusive Private Stock Standards, which provide further quality guidelines, can be found in detail on our website.

With these standards in mind, you can be confident that you are obtaining the finest figured curly cherry available—anywhere. We stand behind our products with a satisfaction guarantee, ensuring peace of mind with every purchase.
