I could be wrong but doesn't each Woodcraft keep a local inventory that might be different from the next Woodcraft or are you referring to their website? Found this at their site:

If you need some cherry blanks I have some and I am sure many other people would be happy to sell or give you some.

TurnerJohn74 has some beautiful Redwood burl. It needs a little drying, but amazing grain patterns. I know it's not cherry, but it's a nice alternative.

I'm fortunate that we have a local lumberyard that sells furniture-grade hardwood. They sell their cut-off scraps as turning blanks, and usually have very nice cherry. And it's the closest hardware store/lumberyard to our house.

If they don't have cherry blanks, they should certainly have some cherry back in the "lumber section" or bowl blank section - go look for the smallest piece you can find, and you'll likely be able to get a few/several pen blanks.

I have both some plain cherry lumber sold as cabinet material, and some black cherry slabs I cut myself that have pretty nice figure, even though I would not call it burl. I'ts not on the level of some of the stopper blanks and pieces advertised here lately, but it is right down the road in Crosby, and it's free if you want some. Drop me a PM.

Sorry about that John, Thanks for clarifying. And they are beautiful.
You know, I went to Woodcraft and did look at the cherry. My customer wants a dark cherry? Now, I always thought there was a dark cherry but all the "cherry" I've seen is a lighter color. Is there such thing as a darker almost dark brown cherry? 
Thanks for all your answers, too!

Some of my older stock is darker red/brown . you could always do a light stain with "gunstock" color stain before finishing it with ca or poly. The gunstock is what I used to tone down the lighter sap areas in the boards when I used them to make my cabinets.

Most cherry wood is a light to medium redish brown. the red color tends to intensify after a day or two of exposure light, and will continue to darken over time. I don't know that I have ever seen any get to a walnut brown color though. Most cherry fruit is harvest from cultivars of the wild cherry (Prunus avium). Most cherry lumber is actually from the black cherry tree (Prunus serotina) which is larger, more likely to be found in wild stands suitable for timber harvesting, and not usually valuable for it's fruit. The older and larger the tree, the darker it's heartwood tends to get.
I did see some like that on Ebay. I have a couple of IAP members sending some. I appreciate all the help.
Actually the guy at Woodcraft said to stain it too! I do have some coming. I have made a donation to IAP for Jon and everybody's help. I appreciate it!
PM me... If you pay for shipping, I'll send you a few pen sized blanks. I have a DARK Cherry table that I made as a kid (starting to fall apart) that I just cut up into blanks. It is aged well, and has a nice dark brown / red look to it.
