Just bought 2 lenghts of Iroko, 75mm x 150mm x 4.2m sawn . Cost £80.00 each plus vat, delivered. Good deal???

bought a teak lab bench 2.4m x 1m x 25mm for £30 off the forum once, but your purchase from a shop seems quite up to the mark for a wood very much in demand.

It seems like a good price.
I paid the same price for teak about three years ago - but only half the dimensions you quote!

Got some money left over for a good dust mask, overalls and gloves?
You'll need them when you start resawing and sanding iroko! It can produce an allergic reaction that isn't pleasant.

Sounds good. On the subject of masks, as I get a slight reaction from Iroko, I use reading specs for close work and got fed up with them fogging from air leaking upwards out of the mask. Bought a snorkle type mask from Duckworks in the US. The filters are over ones shoulders. Odd, but works a treat. Good for beardies too. (this being the classic section...)
