Maraschino Cherry Vat Stock—Willamette Valley & Columbia River Gorge, Oregon

Vat Stock Center Cut and Patina: Batch #20036

Salvaged from decommissioned maraschino cherry vats, this Douglas fir material is available in two grades: Center Cut & Full Patina. The Center Cut grade is smooth planed, exposing the tight clear grain and salmon color tones of this species. Typically, 10–20% of these planks will include some dark staining. The Full Patina grade preserves the original rough surface texture of the vat staves. These boards range from deep brown to silvery grey in color and include occasional rust or deeply embossed marks from the metal straps which once held the vats together.

Price ranges from $6.45–$8.95/sf unfinished.

Originally constructed during the 1930s and 1940s, these wooden vats were brining Maraschino cherries
until about a decade ago when they were replaced with stainless steel tanks. Nearly 45 million pounds
of cherries each year are still grown and brined in Oregon’s fertile Willamette Valley and Columbia River Gorge!
