Iroko (chlorophora excelsa)

Iroko is a very strong, hard and durable african timber. Much admired for a fine handsome sweeping figure, and deep golden toffee brown colour which has a distinctive surface lustre. Occasional darker brown figure and striking black knots add to the beauty of this exotic hardwood.

Iroko sometimes presents the phenomenon of having a “stone” in the centre of a log! this is caused by a build up of calcium carbonate deposits. These “stones” can sometimes be very large.

A masculine wood which is used extensively for boatbuilding and high class joinery, where strength and longevity is required. Also for worktops where a darker timber than beech is required.

A superb timber for entrance halls, dining rooms or librarys. Traditonal or classic drawing rooms where a darker timber but with a lighter feel is specified.
