8/4 Cherry S3S Lumber is a premium American hardwood valued for its warm reddish-brown color, fine, uniform grain, and excellent workability. A favorite among furniture makers and woodworkers, Cherry offers a timeless appearance that complements both traditional and contemporary designs. The substantial thickness of 8/4 material makes it ideal for furniture legs, thick tabletops, benches, turning projects, and other applications requiring larger solid hardwood components. Surfaced on three sides to 1 3/4", this lumber provides a smooth, consistent starting point while reducing the time and effort required for initial milling.

Thickness: 8/4, surfaced on three sides (S3S) to 1 3/4"
Grain: Typically straight and uniform, with a fine, smooth texture and occasional attractive figure, including curly or wavy grain
Color: Light pinkish-brown to warm reddish-brown, naturally darkening into deeper, richer reddish tones with age and exposure to light
Applications: Thick tabletops, furniture legs, bedposts, benches, shelving, turning blanks, decorative accents, architectural millwork, and specialty woodworking
Workability: Machines, sands, glues, and finishes exceptionally well. Cherry's fine, even texture allows for smooth surfaces, precise joinery, and detailed craftsmanship. Its excellent machining characteristics make it a pleasure to work with, while clear finishes beautifully enhance its natural warmth and grain pattern.

8/4 Cherry offers an excellent combination of natural beauty, workability, and substantial thickness, making it an ideal choice for high-quality furniture and specialty woodworking projects. The S3S surface preparation reduces milling time while leaving one rough edge for final sizing to your project's requirements.
