Iroko, lumber soft wood

Iroko solid veneer is a premium wood product known for its exceptional durability, striking appearance, and versatility. Sourced from the Iroko tree (scientific name: Milicia excelsa), which is native to tropical Africa, this veneer is highly sought after for both interior and exterior applications

Appearance:

Color: Iroko veneer typically features a warm golden to medium brown color, often with subtle yellow or olive undertones. Over time, it matures to a richer, deeper brown tone when exposed to light.
Grain: The grain is usually interlocked or wavy, giving it a distinctive and attractive texture. It may also have a slight sheen or luster, enhancing its visual appeal.
Figure: Iroko veneer can exhibit a variety of figures, including ribbon stripes, mottled patterns, or occasional dark streaks, adding character to the wood.

Workability:

Iroko veneer is relatively easy to work with using standard woodworking tools. It can be cut, sanded, and finished smoothly.
However, due to its interlocked grain, it may occasionally cause tear-out during machining, so sharp tools are recommended.
