Cherry suits the shaker door well: a 1-3/4" door with 3/4" recessed flat panels, square-edged 4-15/16" stiles and rails, and the wood brings smooth satiny grain with small gum pockets.
Cherry weighs about 35 lb per cubic foot and has a Janka hardness of 950 lbf. Rot resistance is moderate; heartwood is durable indoors and under cover. For finish, it darkens from salmon to deep red-brown with light; clear finishes show it best.
Size it in the designer — any width, any height, to the sixteenth — and the price shown here is the live price for that door. Add finish and hardware and it recalculates.
