Iroko Lumber

Iroko is a durable hardwood often used as a high-quality substitute for teak, known for its rich, golden-brown color and robust nature. This versatile wood is ideal for hobbyist woodworkers working on outdoor furniture. Its natural resistance to weathering and decay, combined with its smooth texture and appealing appearance, makes it an excellent choice for both functional and decorative pieces. We carry both 4/4 and 8/4 rough.
