Block Mottled; Curly; Plain Sliced Figured/Flame; Plain Sliced Select; Plain Sliced Rustic; Rift and Rotary are all different descriptions for the various apperances of North American Cherry. We try to keep Flat Cut ( plain sliced ), quarter cut, rift and figured in our inventory as well as rotary and rustic at times. Cherry is a species that has a tendency more often than not to have some figuring in it. The woods popularity never seems to fade but what we have noticed in the last few years is the demand for rift has increased. These days we are more apt to clip rift away from flat cut to get the vertical grain look that some of our customers are after. We have better control of the sequencing that way too.
