These blocks are leftovers from a Belgian company that processes tropical hardwood to produce massive dock pilings. Azobe is a strong and resilient timber, making it ideal for outdoor construction projects. Also known as red ironwood, it is exploited in tropical and subtropical regions of Africa. In Belgium and the Netherlands, it is often used for marine constructions, such as bridges and decks. Azobe hardwood is so heavy that it does not float on water – it has a density exceeding 1,000 kg/m³. Please note that some of these blocks are bulky and heavy (> 100 kg) and might be complicated to handle. Make sure you have a good transport solution and enough hands to load your vehicle.
The product is sold per piece, only in our physical shop. The price varies depending on the volume of each block.
We have 6 different price categories :
< 10 000 cm3
10 000 — 30 000 cm3
30 000 — 50 000 cm3
50 000 — 100 000 cm3
100 000 — 150 000 cm3
> 150 000 cm3
Each block has its own unique shape and dimensions. As the wood has been stored outside, the grain and colours vary from block to block. The blocks are just sawn without any finish.
