They're not quarter sawn but they have a really nice effect in the grain. I don't know enough about wood grain to know what that's called. It looks like it will give a nice chatoyance.Wow, those turned out nice! That Cherry has some pretty unusual looking grain. ETA - quarter-sawn, perhaps?

I did too not long ago, I guess you could say shimmery? That creepy shine some wood gets when ya turn it back and forth? Seems to me it had to do with sugar in the wood but I might have learned that in a dreamChatoyance...had to look that one up
That's some of the nicest figured Cherry I've ever seen. It almost looks like quarter sawn Maple? Cherry doesn't look great quarter sawn, it's usually very plain. Cherry can have a lot of figure though when it's quilted. \/ \/Here's some stabilized cherry (no dye)

Not mine but I made two end tables and a coffee table with figured Cherry similar to that. Cheesy cell phone pic.Damn that looks nice!
Yeah, agreed. I'd never guess that to be Cherry if I was trying to figure it out. Quite unusual.That's some of the nicest figured Cherry I've ever seen. It almost looks like quarter sawn Maple?
Doing okay my friend, 129 days until retirement. Enjoy the camping trip.Hey, Scooter!!
Hope I can get a response in, we're out camping, not great coverage. Am trying to get a photo to upload at Imgur, but happening!
How are you guys doing? Closer to retirement?
The weather is wonky here right now, cold and wet Sunday, ok Monday, Tuesday was perfect, nice night for a fire and adult beverages and whatnot, tonighr warm and muggy as hell. But still better than being in town!
Hey to everyone!
I'm about 1200 days behind you Scott, can't wait.
I started counting 11 years outI should not have calculated how many days I have until retirement
