What Country does Amboyna Burl Wood come from?
I believe Amboyna Wood is in the Padauk Family, the Burl is a wart-like growth on the tree, without being to wordy, its a non-life threatening virus within the tree, the grain in the burl can be spectacular which makes it much sought after by woodworker's. Amboyna/Paduak comes from Asia and African Regions. (Amboyna is in the Paduak family, much like Boxelder being in the Maple [Acer] family). Also, its not so much what Country, as it would be what Region, Regions can include several Countries and/or Hemispheres, depending on the type of wood.Pterocarpus Indicus: (Amboyna wood)An exceptional cut of wood taken from the Narra tree, grows only in Southeast Asia. Some cuts can be as much as $500/ board foot. In Dinotopia, the Narra tree only grows in the Rainy Basin Amboyna Burl All Amboyna is freshly cut and either wax or shellac sealed. Origin:Indonesia; the burl form especially on the Andaman group of islands.Range: Amboyna burl is one of the rarest & most expensive woods in the World.The burly part of the log is often very small (20-30kg) thus only wood in small dimensions.Uses: High quality architectural woodwork. Amboyna burl was a popular, frequentlyused wood in the Jugendstil epoch in the twenties. It was the first burl wood to be usedby Rolls Royce for dashboards.Properties: Very sound burl veneer which is only available in small dimensions.Color ranges from deep yellow orange to deep red. After surface finishing Amboynaburl reveals a depth & liveliness in color like found in no other.Machining: The interlocking grain causes considerable problems, particularlywhen planed to produce smooth surface. The different density and hardness zones canonly be machined with the greatest care, appropriate to the value of this wood, toachieve an expert degree of perfection.Seasoning: Here again, drying should be carried out very slowly & carefully to preventsurface checking and inner tension. Rough precutting of the burly wood considerablyimproves its drying behaviour.Finishing: Amboyna burl takes any type of surface treatment and is excellent forpolishing. Ultraviolet-resistant varnishes should be used to avoid darkening in time.Jointing: Joints using glue and screws are easy to produce and hold very firmly.
