Wood House Name Plates using Iroko (similar to teak)
Iroko is similar to teak in appearance and is imported from West Africa. It has a colour which can vary but for signs it is usually a pale golden brown, although it can darken to a richer brown over time. It has a medium to coarse texture with an interlocking grain that often produces interesting patterns.
It is an extremely dense and stable timber which is naturally oily and therefore highly durable and ideal for external signs. It is low maintenance and unlike oak it does not require regular oiling - it is a timber which can be left untreated. It is used widely for boat building, window frames as well as cabinet work and furniture making.
Although iroko is frequently golden brown, colours can vary as seen in the house signs aboveLettering
