Compared to the Japanese cherries that we are familiar with, American black cherries produce fruit that is a deeper red with a purplish tinge. For Native Americans, the tree is a familiar part of their daily lives, and its bark is used as a food ingredient and medicine. It has a history of being used heavily in world-famous architecture and furniture, such as the concert hall designed by Italian architect Renzo Piano and Danish furniture designer Wegner’s masterpiece “The Chair.’’ It is loved as a precious wood among the trees of the Prunus genus, and is one of the finest wood species from America, along with black walnut. The biggest feature is that it has a range of beautification over time that stands out among natural wood. By slowly interacting with the air, you can enjoy the process of changing from a pale cherry color to a rich, deep, lustrous cherry color over time. For The Premium Line, we purchase logs from North American regions such as Wisconsin and Illinois, and process only carefully selected high-quality parts into our products.
