It is not very forgiving ! it is prone to crack and split and warp in my experience , and this time of the year with relatively warm and dry weather any problems will be multiplied !! It is often the case that timbers with the higher values , have these values not just because they are rare ( in large size ) but also because the fault rate is high and I think Cherry falls in to this category . Lovely wood though , and smells beautiful !! good luck !!

Lot of tension generally. Whilst it's a nice timber to cut and is beautiful to behold once worked, it's the inbetween bit that is tricky. I remember felling a stunning 24" dbh cherry, 19ft to first branch a few years ago. Due to the tiniest of kinks in the first length, almost every board split up the heart. Second length was better, but still not ideal.
