Okoume plywood is made from the wood of the Okoume tree. It is sometimes called Okoume Mahogany and is pinkish brown or light red in color. Okoume has a uniform texture and a straight to almost wavy grain that looks interwoven and attractive.
Okoume plywood is often used for racing boats and other uses where a lightweight wood is needed. It can also be used for furniture construction or on kitchen cabinets because of its glossy appearance.
