APPEARANCE AND
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES.
Freshly sawn iroko is butter yellow to brown yellow, sometimes with dark brown marks. The wood has a straight, sometimes irregular grain. Iroko has a medium coarse texture. Machine working produces a blunting effect on tools. This is due to deposits of calcium carbonate which are sometimes present in this wood. Surface treatment often proves very difficult. The wood dries rather slowly, and this can result in deformation and cracking.
APPLICATION
AREAS.
Because of its stability, durability and strength, iroko wood is very versatile. It is used, for example, for door and window frames, windows, interior cladding, staircases, doors, façades, park benches, furniture and parquet floors.
