fruitwood

Apple tree timber

Fruitwood is wood from fruit-bearing trees—apple, cherry, pear, plum—valued in woodworking for its fine grain and warm color.

It's prized for furniture, carving, and decorative objects: a fruitwood cabinet, fruitwood inlay.

The term often appears as an adjective describing color or finish: fruitwood stain.
