AvailabilityRare and expensive. Sourced primarily from Southeast Asia (Pterocarpus indicus). Supply is increasingly limited due to harvest restrictions.

Grain TextureExtremely wild burl figure with tightly packed eyes and swirls. No consistent grain direction. The density of the burl pattern creates an almost holographic effect when finished.

CharacteristicsAmboyna Burl is among the most prized and expensive burls in the world. Color ranges from reddish-orange to deep red-brown, with dense, swirling burl eyes that create a three-dimensional depth. The figure is tightly packed with small knots and eyes that catch light from every angle.
