Large Cherry/Ash Tankard with brass hoops

 Cherry is usually a golden-brown colour (after it's been exposed to the light for a little while - it's pink when first cut) although it frequently has streaks of much lighter colour. Cherry goes very well with Ash, where the pale brown of the Ash (I use Brown Ash, which has a pronounced grain pattern) makes a gentle contrast with the golden-brown of the Cherry. This combination has proved very popular on my craft stall.
