Hello Everyone.this has topic has taken a life of its own. ;-) Bill this web site is very good for seeing the wood.https://www.hearnehardwoods.com/cherry-american-lumber-2/ AMERICAN CHERRY WOOD
Pennsylvania Cherry is considered to be one of the finest North American hardwoods. Cherry wood has been traditionally used in fine furniture since the first American settlers. The wood is prized for both beauty and work-ability. The finished wood has a beautiful salmon pink to red color that with time only improves. The Cherry tree is shade intolerant and is typically found on the outskirts of most forests. Cherry tends to average 1 to 2 feet in diameter- However we have had and seen Cherry logs up to 4 feet in diameter. It is generally affordable, beautiful and easy to work. Cherry has a fine grain texture and the potential for beautiful figure. There are a lot of very nice photo's of the wood. the beautiful color of this wood has made its way into much of the Early American furniture designs. One trait of cherry is it will burn easily, as a matter of fact, Even Green (freshly cut) Cherry wood burn well in a fire. it takes very little friction to make burn marks in this wood, making it a challenging wood to work with at times.I have some more cherry wood that I plan to glue up, and hopefully turn, in an effort to see if I can do a better job, on my roping, then what I did on this project. (we will see?) Have a good night.C.A.G. On Monday, July 12, 2021, 05:15:29 PM EDT, anthony <acmepi...@gmail.com> wrote: Cherry trees that you get lumber from are WILD trees. They have really small, bitter fruit where the stone takes up 2/3 of the space. I guess that the wood of a cultivated cherry tree might also be used, why not, but it is not the stuff used to make most furniture. Is it worse to be scared than to be bored, that is the question.

Yes cherry is a whole different animal. Sheer and back angle are important. Cherry has a pretty high resin content. Feed rate and chip load will also aid in this. I'll be honest the feed rate we run out legacy are a bit slow for our bits in cherry. Also our bits are not specie specific. When I worked at woodcraft industries as Tool tech, we ground specific for species and also had different hook angles to work with. But in our shops we have to work with what's out there. None the less this was a cool project and has my wheels turning. Keep up the great work.

The spindles are 14 7/8" tall, 1 1/2" dia. with a 4" pitch. Both right and left handed pitches. The wood is Cherry, I learned a lot on this project. (or re-learned things I though I already knew.) Cherry burns easily. and when cutting across the grain, you not only need to keep a keen (sharp) edge, but the profile angle of the router bit must also be keep clean in order to stop burning. (Thanks Mike. helping me on this one.) When I cut the ropes I got a lot of burning, no matter if I took light cuts or not, My problem ended up being pitch on the profile of the router bit, (I keep the cutting edge honed and sharp, but it didn't help much.) While sanding the burn marks out, the sanding changed the look of the roping slightly. Something that add Charterer to the project, (I hope?) "Any-How " since the ship and the lights are the focus points, my mess-ups don't look so bad? (but that just me talking, Mr. G. liked them, So I guess I did a good enough job on this, to get me by?) The spindle's have a 1 1/8" tenon cut on the ends, they are glued and pined into place on the end boards. If you have any questions or comments on this, Please let me know. Have a good day/ weekend everyone. C.A.G. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.
