Prunus serotina
American Cherry (Prunus serotina) is a medium-hardness wood balancing workability and wear resistance, with a Janka hardness of 562 lbf (2500 N) and a density of about 0.5 g/cm³. It originates from north america.
With radial shrinkage of 3.7% and tangential shrinkage of 7.1% (a T/R ratio of 1.92), it is reasonably stable with normal seasonal movement. Its fiber saturation point is around 28%, below which the wood begins to shrink and move as it dries.
