I felled a black cherry tree in my yard and now I'm milling the wood

always stained?

Because we live in a world of instant gratification and people can't stand to
wait the six months to a year it takes for Cherry to darken on its own. And
stained Cherry never looks as good as it would if it were just left alone.
