American Cherry is perhaps most distinct among North American hardwoods. Like its siblings, it presents luscious colors reminiscent of nature, but cherry wood’s coloration actually matures during its early years. For instance, a fresh cherry-top dining table is likely to appear light in color and somewhat indistinguishable from other light-tone wood species. However, with each passing month the table top’s hue will darken. By its first or second birthday, a cherry-top table should reveal its true medium-to-dark red signature.
Both butcher block styles show off the beautiful color and grain structure of cherry wood. The difference between the styles traces to the fact that in blended boards, wood pieces of varying length are finger-jointed together, end to end, in order to span the board’s entire length. In contrast, edge-grain boards use only long rails of wood – one for each row or stripe in the board or in this case, the table top. Some people prefer edge style since it results in seams that run in a single direction, whereas the seams in a blended-grain butcher block run in two perpendicular directions. Two advantages accrue to blended-grain table tops used for dining. First, using more and smaller wood pieces multiplies visual interest by producing more of a mosaic or tapestry-like look. Second, it’s slightly more friendly to the environment, since scrap pieces generated in the making of edge-grain tables can be incorporated into blended grain table tops.
You can order your cherry-top dining tables in different-sized squares and rectangles, rounds and ovals, and even octagons. And given the wide range of sizes offered, you’re sure to find a configuration that works well with the floor plan of your shop or eaterie.
The standard (default) edge is a Single ¼” Radius on the top portion of the edge ONLY. You have the option of upgrading to a Double ¼” Radius (i.e., on both the top and bottom of the edge).
We are providing the following information as a courtesy, should you wish to search for table bases available from other sources.
Before pandemic-related supply disruptions, Boos & Co. offered four different styles of black metal stands. Options included table supports with disc bases, cross bases or T supports, in “dining height” (28” to the top of the metal “spider” to which the wood attaches) or “bar height” (40-1/2” to the top of the spider). The following table shows previously available base options by table top size.
Black metal disc bases were available for tables 24 to 60 inches long. Black metal cross bases were available for tables 24 to 42 inches in length. Black metal “T” bases were suitable for tables 48 to 144” long. The table below provides details.
The illustrations below show disc base footprints relative to table tops. If you are contemplating purchasing a disc base for your table top, be certain you will be satisfied with how much floor space will be available for tucking chairs under the table.

If you decide to cancel your order, please call us immediately. Typically, we are able to cancel an order and issue a full refund if production of the item(s) has not yet begun. If an order is already “in production,” it cannot be canceled for any reason.
