For cherry, I always cut off the sap wood....


Hmmm.**This*is*what*I*wondered*too.**But*having*ne ver*worked*with*cherry
before (or many woods for that matter) I was unsure if mixing
sapwood/heartwood is a reasonable idea in cabinetry.


Strictly a matter of taste. I personally like the appearance of a little
sapwood in a cherry piece. Makes it seem more "real" and less like a
manufactured item. But more than 10-20% is too much for me.
