The cherry will darken a bit with time and seasoning. This means that your beautiful butcher block will only continue to become richer in tone with time and will also harden further with age as well.

Cherry wood has a Janka hardness rating between 950 lbf (4,200 N) and 995 lbf (4,430 N) depending on whether it is black or brazilian cherry. This makes it naturally strong and durable which is why it functions as a great cutting board material. This is also why it can be used for years daily and withstand potential fall or water damage without bending, cracking, chipping, warping, or drying out at all.

While cheaper wood, plastic, and marble blocks acquire knife grooves on their surface that trap food particles and contaminate food, cherry wood heals these grooves thus preventing foodborne illness altogether. Its grain pattern also keeps your knife stable as it cuts with the direction of the wood fibers.
