Iroko (Chlorophora excelsa) is an exotic hardwood specie coming primarily from West and East African countries such as Zaire where it is called “tule”, Ghana: “kambala”, Mozambique: “moreira”, Cameroon: “band”, and East Africa: “odum”. The actual tree sizes vary from 30 to 50 meters in height by 1.7 to 2 meters in width. These timbers produce lumber and slabs cuts in thicknesses from 4/4 to 16/4 by widths from 6” to 30” and lengths from 6’ to 16’. At Hardwoods Inc. our inventory consists of mostly 4/4 & 6/4. Iroko lumber appears to have a golden brown to almost orange color with lighter streaks throughout on both the sliced and quartersawn surfaces. The grain tends to be coarse and interlocking resembling that of Khaya mahogany. The working properties of this exotic wood are such that it works fairly easy with carbide tipped power tools and well sharpened hand tools. It glues and sands easily and can be finished beautifully with all types of hand rubbed techniques as well as top coats such as lacquers and urethanes.

In the Hardwoods Inc. millwork shop we use Iroko for bar rail, moldings & millwork items for both interior and exterior applications due to its superior moisture resistant qualities. Our customers are using Iroko for boatbuilding, carving, furniture making, cabinetmaking and flooring. Visit the Hardwoods Inc exotic and domestic lumber store located in Frederick, Maryland to see Iroko and numerous other exotic hardwoods, or take our video tour here on line.
