Okoume Plywood
Okoume plywood made from African hardwood, uniformly reddish in color generally used as a utility plywood and for decoration.
Okoume is undoubtedly the most important of the African timbers with respect to production volume and utilizalion. Supplies originate principally in French Equatorial Africa.
The sapwood of Okoume plywood is narrow and has a pale gray color. The heartwood is a salmon pink or light pinkish brown to a dark reddish brown. The texture is similar to that of Mahogany. The grain is straight to interlocked, wavy, and variable.
Okoume plywood is used in the United States only in the form of veneer, which obviates the difficulties that may be encountered in seasoning and machining in the solid form.
