Bitter cherry, aka Oregon cherry (Prunus emarginata) is a native wild cherry on the west coast. I do not know if it is considered to be a black cherry. We have groves of it on our property. Last December a dozen or more blew down during a windstorm. I will mill the larger logs with my Alaska sawmill and the smaller parts will become firewood.
Bitter cherry is beautiful for woodworking. I have used it for various woodworking projects such as picture frames and the base wood for inlaid coat/tack racks.
