Amboyna burl is a particularly expensive type of burl, costing $18.00 b/f to $22.00 b/f,much more than bigleaf maple burl, for example. It comes from Padauk trees (Pterocarpus spp.) of Southeast Asia.

Padauk trees are quite common but the burl is extremely rare. The amboyna is usually a deep red, although the more rare moudui burl is the same species but the color is from golden yellow to yellow-orange. The sapwood is creamy white with brown streaks.

The common use for amboyna is interiors for luxury vehicles, turnery, cabinets, veneer, and furniture.
