CHERRY

Horizon will always have an affinity for the magic of cherry. Northwestern PA, our back yard, is noted to be the “Cherry Capital” of the world. We attribute Horizon’s early success to our proximity to this wonderful species. The satiny, lustrous, blush red color of Cherry deepens and matures with age. The wood itself is stable, straight grained and notably workable. Through a trick of nature, Cherry is one of the species that occasionally develops an interesting figure in its grain pattern providing the wood worker with some spectacular visual interest in their products.
