Hey guys - this is a bit off-topic, but does anyone else find the habit of antique dealers/appraisers/auctioneers habit of appending "wood" onto the end of "cherry" in a description annoying? I notice that it seems only to be done with cherry and/or apple - no one seems to use the term "mahoganywood" or "pinewood".
Do the folks using "cherrywood" really think that the buying public will otherwise think the piece is made with the fruit of the cherry?
