This shot glass is turned from stabilized Amboyna Burl—a wood celebrated for its density, rarity, and visual drama. The grain in this piece is especially striking: deep reds and chestnut browns swirl across the surface, punctuated by clustered burl eyes and diagonal movement that gives the form a sense of motion.
Stabilization reinforces the structure by infusing resin under vacuum and pressure, preserving the intricate grain and allowing for a clean, durable finish. The piece is sealed with polymerized walnut oil, beeswax, and carnauba wax, enhancing the wood’s natural glow and protecting its surface.
Sourced through international channels, Amboyna Burl joins the global-sourcing roster at Gentry Crafted—a collection of woods acquired through trusted relationships and auction finds. This vessel is bold, elegant, and unmistakably one-of-a-kind.
