amboyna
Amboyna is a type of extremely hardwood often used in fine furniture and cabinetry. The term "amboyna" is derived from Ambon Island in Indonesia where much of this wood is sourced. It is known for its stunning reddish-brown color and curly grain, making it desirable for decorative woodwork. Amboyna is one of the most expensive types of burl wood due to its rich color and heavily contorted grain pattern.

Amboyna
Amboyna, or the Cruelties of the Dutch to the English Merchants is a tragedy by John Dryden written in 1673. Its subject is the Amboyna massacre that took place on Ambon Island in 1623. Dryden reportedly wrote the play in the short space of a month; he wanted to produce a topical piece, since Britain was at that time at war with The Netherlands. The original production was acted by the King's Company at the theatre at Lincoln's Inn Fields. In the stage production by the King's Company, Nicholas Burt played Perez, while Rebecca Marshall played Ysabinda.
