Coralwood is a beautiful, reddish-brown hardwood that is prized for its rich hue, durability, and resistance to rot and insects. However, there are several other names that this wood is known by that are often used interchangeably. For example, coralwood is also referred to as red sandalwood, Pterocarpus indicus, narra wood, and padauk wood. In some regions, it may also be called amboyna wood, amboyna burl, or amboyna burlwood, although technically, this refers to a figured variety of the wood. Regardless of the name used, coralwood is a popular choice for furniture, flooring, cabinetry, and decorative items due to its rich color, unique patterns, and long-lasting durability.
