The plum wood was from a old branch I pruned from a plum tree. I split it into quarters then force dried by fire place and toasted in oven as an experiment.
Really happy with how its turning out!
The demi is corked with a wine cork for a little breathing room,
I have to post a pick or two I am proud of this brew, i know it needs a little more colour but its RUM!! and I made it!!! from stock feed!! and bakers yeast!!!

another wood that might be worth trying is hickory. it is used in smokers all the time and is a very rich flavour/smelling wood (similar richness as oak), so could be worth a try :think:

As for the cherry wood, I'm chuckling at the thought.... Perish the idea of putting anything into strong alcohol that might make it poisonous...... :handgestures-thumbupleft:
