Cherry is lovely; very workable, takes a nice detail, terrific medium color, finishes up easily, stable. Maple has all the above virtues except that it's a lot harder, more problematic to machine.
When you're down at the hardwood guy's place, ask him to show you some African Mahogany, and some Jarrah. He may not have both, or either, but I bet he does; and they're becoming two of my faves. You want to know more about them, ask.
Aloha,
