tcarswell Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 I know maloof and others have made cherry rockers but it seems to be a much softer material than standard oak. Would you use cherry for a rocker ? It would be a mortise and tenon construction rocker similar to the last one I made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric. Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Plenty hard enough. It's only slightly softer than oak. I think oak is around 1200 and cherry is around 1000...if memory serves... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardA Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Eric's memory is on the spot.... Cherry is hard enough and strong enough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcarswell Posted January 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Thank you guys. It's my favorite wood to work and my personal favorite in appearance. I can't wait. Hopefully the tilt top shows up I'm ready to try a more advanced one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
