This is an extremely fine, very rare and of exhibition quality cabinet that will grace any home.
The veneer used is amboyna which is normally only used as an inlay or for decorative panels on furniture due to it being such a rare and expensive exotic wood.

Amboyna is still among the most expensive and sought-after of all burl woods today.
