Okoume Hardwood, scientifically known as Aucoumea klaineana, is a premium-grade tropical timber primarily sourced from Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, and the Republic of Congo. This KS/SD (Kiln-Seasoned / Semi-Dried) variant ensures enhanced workability, stability, and lower moisture content, making it an ideal material for veneers, plywood, cabinetry, marine-grade panels, and high-end interior applications.

Characterized by its light pink to reddish-brown color, Okoume is appreciated for its straight grain, smooth texture, and excellent veneer yield. Though relatively lightweight for a hardwood, it offers sufficient strength for structural use in furniture and paneling.

Its easy machining properties, coupled with excellent gluing, staining, and finishing capabilities, make Okoume a preferred choice in both residential and commercial woodworking projects.

Key Features:

  • Sustainably harvested from Central African forests
  • KS/SD Grade: Kiln-seasoned / semi-dried for enhanced dimensional stability
  • Excellent veneer wood and ideal for marine plywood production
  • Lightweight yet moderately strong—great for interior joinery
  • Uniform grain and smooth surface for aesthetic finishes
  • Low shrinkage and good resistance to warping

Common Applications:

  • Decorative and marine-grade plywood
  • Veneer manufacturing
  • Interior wall paneling and joinery
  • Cabinetry and furniture construction
  • Boat interiors and vehicle panels
