American Cherry Woodturning Blanks avalible in bowl blanks and spindle balnks.
American cherry is renowned for its rich, warm color that starts as a pale pinkish-brown and deepens over time to a rich reddish-brown. The heartwood is typically more vibrant, and the wood darkens naturally with age and exposure to light.
Cherry has a smooth, fine texture and a straight, uniform grain, though occasional wavy or curly figures can add visual interest. It often features subtle mineral streaks or dark flecks, contributing to its refined appearance.
It’s relatively easy to cut, shape, and sand, making it a go-to choice for both beginners and seasoned woodturners. The wood turns smoothly on the lathe and finishes with a smooth, silky surface.
Cherry is somewhat soft, but it is stable, resisting warping or cracking when properly dried. While it’s easy to work with, it can darken during the turning process, so it’s important to use lighter cuts to avoid burns. It responds well to stains, oils, and finishes.
Cherry (Prunus serotina) is a warm, attractive hardwood with a fine, smooth texture and easy workability, making it ideal for woodturning. It turns beautifully, sands effortlessly, and finishes to a lustrous surface, making it perfect for a range of projects like bowls, furniture, and decorative pieces.

Not sure where to start. Really disappointed in the recent order I placed with Yandles. Ordered 10 pieces, 3 had woodworm and one had a massive split in it. The thing that really bothers me is, the split piece clearly had ‘split’ written across it along with a discounted price. I paid full price. I emailed Yandles twice letting them know about it and hadn’t heard anything from them. I got an email asking to review my recent purchase so that’s why I’m sharing this terrible experience. Also just about every parcel I’ve had from Yandles has been poorly wrapped. This one split and I had half my order delayed at a depot somewhere because the box fell apart and half my pieces went missing. Not a great experience at all.
