Iroko can be worked with standard hand and machine tools; a cutting angle of 15 degrees is recommended to manage the interlocked grain and reduce dulling. Pre-drilling is advisable when fixing near edges, and an oil or hardwax oil finish is suitable for both interior and exterior applications to maintain the natural colour and protect the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Iroko suitable for exterior use in the UK climate?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.
