General Description:

Iroko is a large hardwood tree from the west coast of tropical Africa that can live up to 500 years. The wood color is initially yellow but darkens to a richer reddish brown over time. The wood is used for a variety of purposes including domestic flooring, furniture, and outdoor gates. It is a very durable wood and does not require regular treatment with oil or varnish when used outdoors.
