Hello,
I have not worked with iroko before. I understand that it works pretty well but may be hard on cutters. If you have worked with iroko, what was your experience?
I need lumber for an outdoor chair, about 30 BF. The chair will be varnished, but I want decay resistant hardwood species. I am considering S American Mahogany, Iroko. and white oak. The price difference between mahogany and iroko is about $30-40 for this quantity and that does not exclude the mahogany from consideration. It might be the most attractive choice and it will not dull my bandsaw. On the other hand, I feel more confident in the decay resistance of iroko.
I will appreciate your thoughts.
Doug
