Charlie,

I have seen lots of iroko links but don't know if it is the same thing
and cannot find anything to actually confirm the link.

Thanks.

I am getting to the question---
I have been told by different people to use either Kwila (Moluccan
ironwood or Johnstone River teak) or Iroka for this both of which are
easily available to me in NZ and relatively cheap. I have found some
info on Kwila (http://www.dpi.qld.gov.au/hardwoodsqld/8271.html) but
cannot get anything on the properties of Iroka.


Try Iroko. Though if you're in NZ, it may not be the same, as it is African.
