Scientific name: Ptercarpus indicus

Description:
One of "The Worlds" coveted burls.
Heartwood has a full spectrum of colors ranging from golden brown to deep blood red.
A faint, cedar-like aroma can be detected when working with the wood.
Amboyna is not a distinct species but is the name of the burl in any Pterocarpus species.
It machines well and has an excellent finish and high polish.
Region: Southeast Asia
Notes:
- Pen blanks are cut from premium-seasoned burls.
- Due to the nature of wood, no two pieces are alike, and movement, shrinkage or expansion can occur.
- Sapwood is not considered a defect and can be found in some pieces.
- Pictures are a representation.
- Dimensions may vary +/- ⅛"
- Wood dust has been known to cause allergic reactions among wood workers, therefore sufficient ventilation, dust extraction equipment, and the use of proper respirators and eye protection is essential.
