    Yep that’s right, big beautiful cherry! I rarely see them this big and still be solid in the center. The log on the forks is only about 16” diameter but is still a beautiful site to me.

    That is a good size. Nice and straight too.

    Hit or miss for me if straight or twisty when run through the hydro.

    Cherry has become a favorite smoker wood for me. I just need to keep the radar on for more.
