Looks awesome. Do you make the metal portion of the rings yourself or do you use a prefab kit?

Hey JR…A very nice matching set and as always you choose some amazing looking woods for them. I have never heard of Amboyna, is it an American wood or does it grow some where else. Either way it is stunning.

Thank you Ron and Doc!

Dave, (Here's info on Amboyna):

Pterocarpus indicus (Amboine, Pashu Padauk, Malay Paduak, New Guinea Rosewood, or, ambiguously, "Narra" which can refer to several Pterocarpus species) is a species of Pterocarpus native to southeastern Asia, northern Australasia, and the western Pacific Ocean islands, in Cambodia, southernmost China, East Timor, Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, the Ryukyu Islands, the Solomon Islands, Thailand, and Vietnam. Other names include Narra (Philippines), Sonokembang (Indonesia), Angsana or Sena (Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore), Tnug (Cambodia).

Pterocarpus indicus was one of the two species (the other being Eysenhardtia polystacha) used as a source for the 16th to 18th-century traditional diuretic known as lignum nephriticum.

Many populations of Pterocarpus indicus are seriously threatened. It is extinct in Vietnam and possibly in Sri Lanka and the Peninsular Malaysia.

Really good looking match. I bet they love 'em. That Amboyna is a really good looking wood.

Beautiful set. Amboyna is the burl of Narra or Narna (not sure exact name) from somewhere in Asia…I think, if memory serves me right.
Another great job JR_Dog!
