Amboyna comes from the legume (Leguminosae) or pea family is reported to occur only in Indonesia. This wood is named after the isle of Ambon where much of this material was originally found. (这句话是晕乎的,它说安波娜树瘤木只来自印度尼西亚,这个问题呢,留待下一段解决。然后后面呢,就是这种木头首先被发现在安波岛,所以叫 amboyna .)
Amboyna is a marvelously luxurious burl from the tree that is commonly known as Narra. (安波娜树瘤木是一种很奢华的树瘤,来自于Narra 树,这里有一个问题,Narra 是什么玩意儿)Often it is finely sliced to produce an extremely decorative veneer, used for decoration and in making of furniture and keys on a marimba. In China, Pterocarpus wood is used in the hexagonal body of special Beijing Opera-instrument: jinghu, a two-string bowed fiddle, as well as other Chinese fiddles. (这整段就是说安波娜树瘤木的用途以及用法等等等等,无关紧要啦。)
A rare, exotic hardwood with a fragrant aroma. It can vary in color from yellow to golden brown to red with mottled or striped black grain. Thanks in part to its wavy grain, Amboyna Burl is figured with numerous, captivating swirls.
