This is an African species of hardwood that resembles teak. With true teak prices being higher, iroko is often substituted. Gold deepening to a rich brown and with a grain that can be wavy or straight, this species brings a warmth to any decor it’s incorporated into. Our craftsmen create beautiful results by carefully hand picking each component of a countertop to make the most of these interesting grain variations. Coming from tropical Africa where the tree is considered sacred, iroko is a vulnerable species. As we buy lumber only from suppliers certified to be following responsible harvesting and export regulations, we offer iroko to our clients who want to enjoy its exotic beauty in their wood countertops.
