Amboyna Burl

• Filed under Admin with

 Pterocarpus Indicus

Pterocarpus Indicus of the family Leguminosae (subfamily Papilionoideae) the legume or pea family.

Amboyna is a marvelously burl from the tree that is commonly known as Narra. Some say that the name Amboyna only applies to the veneer made from the burl, but if so that rule is not honored very well since all the dealers I am aware of refer to both the solid burl pieces and the veneer as Amboyna or Amboyna Burl, and not Narra burl while the un-burled pieces are referred to as Narra.

This exotic hardwood grows in Southeast Asia (We get most of ours from Laos) and has a fragrant aroma. It can vary in color from yellow to golden brown to red, and is generally considered excellent for both turning and finishing Due to its wavy grain; Amboyna Burl is figured with numerous, captivating swirls.

 

We stock this in sizes ranging from Pen Blanks (3/4×3/4×5) to Table Top Slabs
