Amboyna Burl — 40x40x310 — ABS04

Amboyna Burl is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful and valuable burls in the world. Sourced from the Narra tree (Pterocarpus indicus) of Southeast Asia, it is prized for its extraordinarily rich, warm reddish-orange tones and its dense, swirling burl figure packed with tight eyes and flowing patterns. In spindle form, the figure wraps around every surface — the result is a turned piece of exceptional character that commands attention.
