When freshly cut, Iroko has a distinct yellow colour and only changes to a golden brown when exposed to light. With excellent strength properties, it compares well with teak though weaker in bending and in compression. With a medium texture and small moisture movement, it is used mainly for exterior joinery and bridge construction.

WRC is famous for its variation in colour ranging from chocolate brown to reddish brown to salmon pink although the main colour is reddish brown. This wood is moderately very durable and therefore is light in weight and a softer timber than all the other woods listed on this page. It is less resistant to splitting and indentation and can mark very quickly.

This yellowish-gold brown hardwood is known for its high strength properties and its durability. It's moisture movement is medium and it has a good density with a medium to course texture. It is used for heavy structural use, cladding, exterior and interior joinery, furniture and flooring.

Walnut is a dark brown/black or a rich purplish-black colour and has a fine even texture and rather coarse grain. Moderately durable and with a medium moisture movement therefore requires more maintenance than all the other wood types that we offer. It would be a pity not to be able to use such a beautiful wood, so we advise that it is only used in a semi protected area and maintained more frequently.

Mainly found in Zaire, Wenge is a very dark brown color with close blackish veins and has a good resilience to bending and shock. Very durable with small moisture movement, it also has a coarse texture. It is mainly use for exterior and interior joinery.

Fumed Oak is an exciting addition to our wood collection, with its colour ranging from deep brown to honey-brown. These colors coupled with intense blonde streaks occurring through-out the timber from the secondary process of fuming, keep it rich and intense. With similar structural properties to our European Oak in its durability, the fuming process of oak was associated for a long time with furniture and flooring and it is a pitty that it was not used more on external doors. It is a beautiful wood with a lot of character that can be used for a more contemporary look.  Available for external and internal use.
