I tried Google images and got nothing.
Can anyone direct me to a site that has pictures of Emboya wood?
Actualy, a site that has examples of all woods would be ideal.
Does such a site exist?:confused:

Thank you all,

Gideon

Gideon, A neighbor of mine runs an international business of supplying exquisite woods to luthiers. His web site is; www.colonialtonewoods.com. I have seen emboya at his place. He also sells many other exotics, as you will see on the web site. Phil

If its the one I think you talking about, you are spelling it incorrectly.
Its Amboyna Burl (http://images.google.com.au/images?hl=en&q=amboyna+burl&btnG=Search+Images&gbv=2), there is loads of pics.

Imbuia is probably it. It's on the Colonial site.
