fruitwood

Historically, cherry, apple, plum and pear wood were favorites of cabinet makers. In addition to being durable and having beautiful grain patterns, these woods were revered for their warm and comforting colors. Also, because the milled wood is from a fruit tree it was referred to as “fruitwood.” Over time, apple, plum and pear woods have been largely phased out in the cabinet world, although the warm fruitwood colours they were known for continue to be desirable to homeowners.
