Iroko

The coarse texture of this wood is medium, and its colours can range from a deep straw yellow to a dark brown or grey.

Upon oxidation, it may contain hard deposits of Calcium Carbonate that can result in a darker shade on the surrounding wood.

If silicon is present, it can be difficult to work with and it is slow to dry.

Iroko wood is prized for its durability, resilience, and aesthetic appeal, making it versatile across various applications.

It is extensively used in general construction for beams, joists, boards, flooring, frames, and panelling, reflecting its strength.

In the furniture industry, Iroko is favoured for crafting luxurious pieces and cabinets, benefiting from its attractive grain and workability.

It also finds application in plywood and decorative veneer, enhancing interior designs. Iroko’s versatility extends to turning for ornaments, furniture, and cutlery, as well as in crafting musical instruments and handicrafts.

Its classification as a class 1-2 wood makes it suitable for containers like cooperage and truck bodies, as well as for naval construction, including boat decks and port storage.
