I can just see it. The Court takes the cabinets off to store for
the trial. In storage, the cabinets darken.

Get a red faced customer and a happy vendor.

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.

There was a case on one of those TV "court" shows, where someone was
suing a cabinent maker. The person had ordered custom cabinets "made
of cherry wood with a clear finish, and was expecting them to be red.
