It could be possible to use okoume (gaboon) instead of Red Western Cedar in
strip-planking?

Thank's to all

Any kind of plywood is not good for strip building (as we know it).
The properties of the plywood make it difficult if not impossible to
bend the strips in such a manner as to follow the lines of a hull.
