Amboyna Burl

I finished this pair yesterday. This is Amboyna Burl. I love working with this particular wood, except that it is so expensive it certainly gave me a case of the 'nerves' before I did any cutting or shaping!

Amboyna Burl was used in the past as a dash treatment for Rolls Royce and now because of it's rarity you just don't see much of this around at all.

I have some grips for the Ruger Mk3 that I hopefully will be able to finish this week and post photos.

1911 with Camphor Burl Grips

Tweet

Camphor Burl is a joy to work with. The aroma from this wood is unbelievable. Camphor Burl comes from Southeast Asia. If the name sounds familiar it is because this is the tree where Camphor comes from, an aroma with an almost eucalyptus scent.

This burl is highly figured and will look very good on any 1911.

This particular wood is rare and scarce...therefore more expensive.

This particular set is numbered #001 and is for the 1911 model with no cut for an ambidextrous safety.
