Never been there, but I have bought other brand plywood clearly

The Meranti BS1088 sold here is made by Joubert and looks very much like

Yes, but you must watch out cause there are more than one manufacturer
in Joubert France, but only one company called Joubert. The sticker on
the wood is yellow and blue and says Joubert. This wood, generally
sold as ocoume has the reddish wood for outside panels, many of the
others don't. I am a happy camper today as I stumbled onto another
supplier for the Joubert ocoume. There is a difference, a big
difference.

I need a few sheets of a good quality (BS1088 or 6566) 1/4" plywood
with
the
appearance of Honduras mahogany.
I've inquired of the usual suspects and not found it.

Suggestions?

about if you share the info with us?

Thx,

My boat project: http://www.advantagecomposites.com/tongass

I have some Wisa brand here that is only a few months old and the
outer skin is forming a check or two, I am saving it to bring back to
the distributor. I have never seen that with the Joubert brand ply.
Wisa, and another calling itself Eurocume seem to have all five skins
made of the lighter colored wood (6mm) but the Joubert has a darker
skin, one that blends in with the mahogany trim I use. The other
finishes lighter in color, the Joubert gets a nice rich mahogany tone
when finished.. I also notice the Joubert is a little lighter sheet
for sheet than the other three brands I have tried...

My dear friend, I am capable of telling the difference between the name of a
town and the name of a company.

Right?

No Joubert France that I can find. The Joubert Group is named for its
founder Andre Joubert and makes okoume plywood In Rouillac France. See
http://www.joubert-group.com/uk/1.htm

Okoume ranges in color from creamy while to medium beige. The sheets
with the redish face veneers that finish out looking a lot like mahogany
are probably Joubert sapelli faced okoume.

Casting no aspersions on Jacques, who has an interesting web site, I
suggest you try Boulter Plywood, www.boulterplywood.com, Somerville
MA. Fred Boulter is a life-long sailor, former Commodore of the
Boston Yacht Club (one of the three major racing clubs in Marblehead)
and good guy.

OK, I will accept that, and you may be right about the Sapelli, but
either way, the Joubert is the only one I have found in the basic
price range of Okoume that has that color, consistantly.
Looking to see if I have a photo of the mark on the "eurocoume" I had
last year...
