I knew from looking on wood-explorer database there is a respiratory problem with Black Cherry. Got frustrated looking at database two there. The wood-explorer database not consistent with toxicity information. Think my NAS Field Guide to Trees Eastern Region more useful to me.
I saw Black Cherry on the "The Wood Database link. I also know some species of Cherry dust (Bolivian Cherry) and others will cause contact dermatitis.
I also came upon another chart which list "American Cherry."

I have been to several charts. Several of which will put you in the ballpark.
What got me started on quest for Cherry wood information? Was asked if all Cherry wood contained cyanide. After much searching offer an opinion which follows:
While pits and leaves may turn into cyanide if ingested, not sure sap or heart wood, have much cyanogenic glycosides. Apparently, no problem on wood that reached EMC. Contact dermatitis from dust could be a problem, wear proper dust protection.
In case, you wanted to know:
Cyanogenic glycosides
In this case, the aglycone contains a cyanide group. In many plants, these glycosides are stored in the vacuole but if the plant is attacked, they are released and become activated by enzymes in the cytoplasm. These remove the sugar part of the molecule and release toxic hydrogen cyanide. Storing them in inactive forms in the cytoplasm prevents them from damaging the plant under normal conditions.
An example of these is amygdalin from almonds. They can also be found in the fruits (and wilting leaves) of the rose family (including cherries, apples, plums, almonds, peaches, apricots, raspberries, and crabapples). Cassava, an important food plant in Africa and South America, contains cyanogenic glycosides and therefore has to be washed and ground under running water prior to consumption. Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) expresses cyanogenic glycosides in its roots and thus is resistant to pests such as rootworms (Diabrotica spp.) that plague its cousin maize (Zea mays L.). It was once thought that cyanogenic glycosides might have anti-cancer properties, but this idea was disproven, see Amygdalin. A recent study may also show that increasing CO2 levels, caused by anthropogenic emissions, may result in much higher levels of cyanogenic glycoside production in Sorghum and Cassava plants, making them highly toxic and inconsumable. A doubling of CO2 concentration was found to double the concentration of cyanogenic glycosides in the leaves.
