Someone at a wood supplier once mentioned to me that steaming cherry
(lightly I presume) will darken the heartwood/sapwood.

Hmmm... never heard that about cherry before. Works for walnut, tho.

Isn't that something that needs to happen in the kiln processing?

And I agree with George. Some of the stuff that seems steamed has a very
muddy look to it. Maybe mine was dyed somehow. It came from unused
kitchen cabinet mistakes and overruns. The price was one JOAT could
appreciate, though.
