Go to YouTube and search for "Bonanza Cherry ukulele". Bonanza Ukulele offers cherry as one of their solid wood builds. I own one and I really like it!
 
Cherry back and sides, maple neck.

I built this one. The body is all cherry. The neck is maple. Fretboard, bridge and binding are walnut. I like the sound of it quite a bit. It is nice and crisp.

I just remembered that I built this one too (my brain and memory seem to have gone to mush lately). Cherry top, back and sides. Cherry and Maple neck. Turns out, this is my most recently finished uke and the other one I posted was one of my first. So... I guess it's easy to see that I'm a pretty big fan of cherry wood. I'd say that cherry and walnut are a couple of my favorites to work with. I do build primarily with domestic woods though, so I haven't tried many of the more traditional tropical hardwoods.
