MORE ABOUT YOUR IROKO

Iroko wood is a durable, stable African hardwood often called "African teak" due to its similar look and performance, Used in Outdoor decking, cladding, and fencing, Boatbuilding and marine environments.

Due to its ‘upbringing’ surrounded by the intense, dry heat, wind and rain of tropical Africa, iroko is a highly seasoned wood. An oily hardwood, it has very high natural resistance to insects, pests and decay — a go-to outdoor timber for use in exposed areas.

Iroko is an oily, waxy wood that’s resistant to large changes in its moisture content, meaning it has low levels of movement, shrinking and warping. This makes it a dimensionally stable wood, even popular for marine use.

As mentioned, preservative treatment is not usually required before iroko is used outdoors, although it may be preferred in order to retain the original copper shades of colour.

Although we only speak of its durability and stability, the Yoruba people (a West African ethnic group) believe the tree to even have healing properties!

Strength and hardness

Iroko is dense and abrasion resistant, with a dry weight of 660kg/m³. On the Janka scale — a measure of the relative hardness of different wood species — iroko clocks in at a very respectable 1,260 lbf (pound force). The test measures the amount of force required to embed a steel ball into the wood.

For comparison, a classically scratch and impact-resistant timber like teak has 1,155 lbf, with species of oak ranging from 1,120–1,360 lbf — which means iroko is in esteemed company.

Workability

Iroko is a fairly workable wood, producing good results with hand tools and when being planed, turned and moulded. The wood takes well to glueing, nailing, finishing and varnishing, with a tolerable steam bending ratio.

However, iroko does have a tendency to blunt tools because of the presence of hard calcium carbonate. In areas where iroko’s characteristic interlocking grain occurs, tearout can also be an issue.

Sustainability

According to the IUCN Red List — a leading database of the conservation status of the world’s biodiversity — Iroko is classified as ‘Lower Risk’, a classification below Vulnerable. So, when buying your iroko, be sure that it’s sourced from sustainably-managed forests.
