Use of cherry as honey dippers

I’m not able to answer about cherry – but I do know that the ones I’ve noticed have all been oak.

Interestng question. You could make it oak with a cherry handle.

Will you finish it with something?

I am finishing them with mineral oil, and bees wax.

Cherry is not toxic. i make spoons and cooking and serving utensils from it. I also use my scraps to smoke meat with. and i’ve breathed enough cherry dust the last few years.
Cherry also has very tight grain patterns and the pores aren’t open like oak. I use salad bowl finish or mineral oil and wax on my utensils.
