Teak, African

African Teak, also known as Iroko, has excellent longevity in moist environments. Often used in boat building in Africa, this species is a fantastic substitute for genuine Burma Teak but is available at a fraction of the cost. Colors range from golden to yellowish brown.

This high quality hardwood is suitable for a variety of woodworking projects.
