Amboyna Burl, Snakewood, or Pink Ivory
|
| Six hi/lo Amboyna burl points (petrocarpus indicus, Philippines), with black and white veneers, are spliced into an ebony front. The ebony butt has six hi/lo Amboyna points. The A, B, D, and E rings contain Amboyna, ebony and ivory rings with an ivory-stitched, ebony center ring. The joint collars and sleeve are Water Buffalo horn. The pin is a Uni-loc™ radial screw. Fancy Amboyna, ivory and ebony joint protectors are provided with the cue. | Amboyna burl is one of the rarest woods in the world.
It has always been treasured and was used sparingly on only the finest furniture. In fact, some pieces of furniture from the tombs of Egyptian Pharaohs contained
Amboyna burl on the most visible surfaces. It is also found as a veneer on some English and French 18th and 19th century marquetry furniture. This stylish cue comes with two ivory ferruled shafts. Cue #00019 |
