Cherry may have some mineral streaks, pitch pockets or sapwood. Cherry mellows or darkens with age from exposure to sunlight, and can also become a deep reddish-brown with a golden luster.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt is not uncommon to find different grain contrasts in the same piece of solid cherry wood furniture.

The dark center of the tree is the heartwood and the light outer ring is the sapwood.
