Six months ago I made a cabinet out of curly cherry and was very
disappointed by the results. It is pretty, but the curl is much less
prominent than I expected; it showed up more as dark patterns then as
figure.
I posted here, and was told that curly cherry simply didn't show up like
curly maple.

So, that has me thinking about the curly cherry. It is a large piece so I
can't just play with it, and I don't have any wood from that material to
experiment on. If it will bring up the curl (and yes, I have seen curly
cherry that looked like good curly maple so I know that my results aren't
the best) I am certainly willing to refinish it; but don't want to rec it.

Anyone know about this?


I've had very good luck with polymerized tung oi (Mosers from WWS)l. The
sealer seems to bring out the figure, the PTO preserves and enhances it.
