So I was visiting a buddy of mine here in the neighborhood who works on very high end houses in the middle Tennessee area. He went to work the other day and found 15 or so boards of iroko that had been mistakenly delivered to the job site. The contractor was set to throw all into the dumpster to make room for materials to be delivered later in the day. My buddy had the good sense to ask for the boards and bring them home. Each board measures about 14 - 15 feet long and is around 5/4 thick. Widths vary from 8 to 12 inches. To my uneducated eye (I've never seen this stuff before) they look like they are select quality.
Any idea what stuff like this is worth a board foot? Anybody ever work with it? What's it typically used for?
