American Cherry is softer than Red or White Oak. It is measured by an impact test called a Janka Test. If you are talking about "Brazilian Cherry" (aka Jatoba) then that is a different story. Jatoba is FAR harder than either of the the Oaks. Exotics are generally far harder than domestics.
The break down does in this order:
American Cherry 900
Red Oak 1290
White Oak 1360
Brazilian Cherry (Jatoba) 2350
These numbers will vary depending on the density of the specific sample but the overall hardness will stay pretty consistent by species.
