hi guys


in our region there is kind of wood called oak and when I say Okoume
people think I mean oak and I don't if I am wrong or they are wrong I
don't sure if the name is diffident and oak, Okoume is the same wood

the question is plywood Okoume is from oak?or there is difference
between them ?

thanks


Unless you are writing from Africa Okoume probably doesn't grow around
where you are from:

Aucoumea klaineana (Angouma, Gaboon, or Okoume) is a tree in the
family Burseraceae, native to equatorial west Africa in Gabon, the
Republic of the Congo, and Rio Muni. It is a medium-sized hardwood
tree growing to 30-40 m tall, rarely larger, with a trunk 1-2.5 m
diameter above the often large basal buttresses. The tree generally
grows in small stands, the roots of the trees intertwined with
neighboring trees. In Gabon it is the primary timber species.
