Cherry for Dining Room Table
My current project is a very large dining room table (102″ L x 44″ W at the widest). Most of it is cherry and the trim will be Peruvian Walnut. I’ve searched high and low for the “right” cherry and found it today at Anderson McQuaid in Cambridge, MA. This table top will be long, thick, gorgeous, and really heavy!
There’s a lot more to this story (like why I bought pre-milled lumber!), and I’ll also make the design public soon. But here’s a couple of quick photos to show what I got. The 10-footer isn’t checked as bad as it seems. Both that and the 11-footer are absolutely gorgeous.

Lengths Marked in Feet
Total Width at Shop
And oh yeah, 11-footers that are 1 1/4″ thick and 10″ wide? Really, really heavy. I strained my neck loading my truck and it is seriously spasming. Ended my work day. Job hazard! Ouch.
