Amboyna Burl Stabilized

Stabilized Amboyna Burl – Premium Exotic Wood Blank
 
Our Stabilized Amboyna Burl blanks are prized for their exceptional figure, depth, and rarity. Each piece measures a minimum of 1.5" x 1.5" x 18", making it ideal for high-end cue making, fine woodworking, custom knife scales, turning projects, and other precision applications where beauty and stability matter.
 
Amboyna burl is renowned for its dramatic swirling grain, tight eyes, and rich color palette ranging from golden honey and deep reds to dark chocolate tones. No two blanks are ever alike—each piece is a true one-of-a-kind showcase of nature’s artistry. The stabilization process infuses the wood with resin under pressure, greatly enhancing strength, dimensional stability, and moisture resistance while preserving the burl’s natural character. This results in a blank that machines cleanly, finishes beautifully, and remains reliable over time.
 
History & Origin
Amboyna burl comes from the Narra tree (Pterocarpus indicus), native to Southeast Asia, particularly regions surrounding the Maluku Islands (historically known as the Spice Islands), from which the name Amboyna is derived. For centuries, this burl has been regarded as one of the world’s most luxurious and desirable woods.
 
Historically, Amboyna burl was reserved for royalty and elite craftsmen, commonly used in fine furniture, musical instruments, jewelry boxes, and decorative veneers throughout Europe and Asia. During the 18th and 19th centuries, it became especially popular in high-end cabinetry and inlays due to its striking visual depth and rarity. Today, true Amboyna burl is increasingly scarce, making stabilized blanks especially valuable for modern artisans seeking both beauty and performance.
If you are looking for a premium exotic material with a rich legacy and unmatched visual impact, Stabilized Amboyna Burl is an exceptional choice.
