Iroko

Iroko Hardwood Planks

Iroko (Milicia excelsa) is one of Africa's most popular and widely used hardwoods, often called African Teak or African Oak. With its warm yellow-brown to dark brown tones and excellent natural durability, Iroko is a go-to timber for outdoor joinery, furniture, and construction projects across the UK and Europe.

Key Characteristics

  • Colour: Yellow-brown when freshly cut, darkening to a rich medium brown with age
  • Grain: Interlocked, sometimes with irregular figuring
  • Hardness: Hard and dense — excellent durability, even in outdoor conditions
  • Workability: Good — works well with machine tools; interlocked grain can cause tearout

Common Uses

  • Garden furniture and outdoor decking
  • Window frames, doors, and external joinery
  • Worktops and kitchen furniture
  • Boat building and marine joinery
