Shouldn't sand iroko without good extraction, as it can cause cancer iirc.


Used for school science lab bench tops, again iirc.
 
I'm not sure you can get Iroko anymore...?

Last summer I decorated a big house exterior and a sill beneath a permanently closed sash was rotten & filled with filler, not a sill exactly, more a 4 x 4" section, about 600 long, I went into Jewsons expecting to come away with a fence post but the timber guy when I told him what it was for said they had some nice iroko off cuts. Lovely piece of wood, shame to paint over it. But you're right it's not common now.
