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

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.

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

Right?

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?

How many different URLs do you sell stuff from anyway, Jacques? QUESTION:
What kind of wood is that Eurolite made from? Birch? Poplar?

We run 9 web sites but are growing fast.
See this one for a detailed description of Eurolite plywood:
http://plywood.e-boat.net/index.php

It is European poplar with marine glue (melamine).
The spanish manufacturer rates it as marine but it is made for boat
interiors. We are experimenting with it's use for small boat hulls.

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.
