Fireplace mantels make homes beautiful. They can really enhance the quality of your home.

 
 

 

Have you ever lived in a home full of cherry wood woodwork? If you have, then you know how beautiful the lustrous, dark reddish brown wood can be. Cherry wood is one of my most beautiful choices for a fireplace mantle. It’s one of the most beautiful choices for anything, in my opinion. Rich, beautiful violins, exquisite cherry wood doors, tables or chairs.

Cherry wood looks beautiful in any home, either to contrast light colored walls, or to accentuate darker decor. It’s rich color and strength will last you years and years without need for repair or replacement, as the wood is nearly impervious to decay, or warping once treated.

The tree grows in areas of the Midwest, and eastern US, and can be harvested at about 40 years growth. (They rarely reach full height before 90, though) Even the tree itself is beautiful. During the spring, the branches sprout beautiful white blossoms. The availability of the wood isn’t very good though. It can be difficult to get, or expensive. The wood often grows with knots or some such, so perfect quality is rare and not cheap, but any penny spent on cherry wood is a penny well spent. The beauty and durability will pay you back over the years.

Not only is it beautiful, but it is dense, tight grained, and sturdy. This is another reason why it is so popular when used in furniture- it will last. The professional uses of this wood are nearly limitless. It’s combination of strength and beauty is all but unbeatable.

A fireplace mantle made out of cherry wood is a beautiful addition to a home. It draws the eye in the most positive way. It will last you years and years, if not generations, holding on to that timeless beauty and attractiveness. The dark, reddish brown will enhance the quality of your entire home, and create a unique atmosphere that only rosewood can.
