But, the greatest use of Cherry was for furniture such as chests, tables and beds. Cherry is well known and sought after throughout the entire Appalachian range. However, the special conditions that exist in Pennsylvania and Virginia place them at the top of the list for production of this unique wood. The lumber from these trees have the reddish quality the wood is known for and will take a very high polish.
