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. Cheers, Bruce |

Okume is mostly used to build lightweight, high strength plywood which is excellent for boat building. You will probably have to order it from a specialty lumber company. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&biw=988&bih=574&q=okoume+ma rine+plywood&oq=okume+&aq=2s&aqi=g-s6g3g-s1&aql=undefined&gs_sm=c&gs_upl=2163l4537l0l6l6l0l 0l0l0l261l1141l0.3.3l6 or http://tinyurl.com/3oaq7hq |
