AvailabiIity

At about $3 per board foot, black cherry costs approximately the same as red oak. Outlets farther from the source will, of course, charge more. You also can buy black cherry plywood-usually almost twice the price of a sheet of red oak. Plain-sliced veneer costs about 50 cents per square foot; figured veneer runs slightly more. Turning squares, buttons, and plugs also are available.
