Has anyone done any projects with wild black cherry? I have an upcoming project, a cradel for my daughter and a mom to be and thought I would do it out of cherry with walnut or maple rockers. I do know where ther is 50 bf of wild black cherry in a kiln now for $3.40/bf that still has not been spoken for. Quite a bit less than the area hardwood suppliers want for cherry.

Is it close in color and grain to cherry, and anyone have any pics of anything they've done with WBC?

I have a hard time deciding to commit to buying something that I cant place my hands on first even though none of the area woodworkers have complained the least bit about this sawer, he's a top notch guy.
