Cherry Kitchen Cabinets
in Pennsylvania
American cherry, the classic Pennsylvania cabinet wood. Warm when installed, richer every year after. Built by Amish hands since 1979.
Cherry has furnished Pennsylvania homes since colonial times, much of the world’s best cherry lumber still grows in this state’s Allegheny forests. It starts a warm honey-pink and deepens with light exposure into the rich russet most people picture when they think of fine furniture. That aging is not a defect; it is the reason people choose cherry.
It cuts and carves more sweetly than almost any domestic hardwood, which is why traditional details, raised panels, applied moldings, turned posts, look most natural in cherry. For formal kitchens, stained traditional kitchens, and rustic looks with knotty character grades, nothing else carries the same warmth.
We build cherry kitchens from rough Pennsylvania lumber in our Honey Brook shop, with the same construction as everything we make: solid hardwood frames and doors, plywood boxes, dovetail drawers. See a recent example in our rustic cherry kitchen in Manassas, VA.
The three premium looks solve different rooms. Cherry is the warmest and most traditional, and the only one that visibly improves with age. Walnut is darker and more dramatic, see our walnut kitchens guide. White oak is the lightest and most contemporary, covered in our white oak guide. Price-wise, cherry typically sits between oak and walnut, and all three get identical construction in our shop.
