This design allows for a board that will outlast generations of users.
History & Info of the Tree hardwoods used in this board-
Cherry- Like all fruit trees, cherry belongs to the rose family. American Colonists used the cherry tree for its fruit, medicinal properties and home furnishings. They mixed cherry juice with rum to create Cherry Bounce, a bitter but highly favored cordial. The bark was used in the production of drugs to treat bronchitis, and cherry stalks were used to make tonics.
Early printmakers used cherry for their engraving blocks.
Grows Eastern U.S., principally Northern and Lake states. The average tree is 60 to 70 feet in height.
The heartwood of cherry varies from rich red to reddish brown and will darken with age and on exposure to light. In contrast, the sapwood is creamy white. The wood has a fine uniform, straight grain, satiny, smooth texture, and may naturally contain brown pith flecks and small gum pockets.
The plantings of cherry trees originated in 1912 as a gift of friendship (Thus why we called this board the Friendship Board ) to the People of the United States from the People of Japan. In Japan, the flowering cherry tree, or "Sakura," is an exalted flowering plant. The beauty of the cherry blossom is a potent symbol equated with the evanescence of human life and epitomizes the transformation of Japanese culture throughout the ages.
