Anyone know what they call this wood?

[Dutra]

Does any one know if there is a special name for this wood? Its cherry and it has clusters of small knots in it. Kinda reminds me of birdseye maple, I've been calling it honeycomb cherry. Just wondering if anyone has seen it before and knows an actual name of it.

It held up well when i was turning it, just took my time.

(Im new here, hope I posted this in the right spot...)
