The Origin of Okoume faced Plywood
Aucoumea klaineana, or Okoume, is an African hardwood that can only be found in the Congo, Gabon, and Africa’s equatorial Guinea. The tree grows in close stands and can reach over 100 feet. It also grows quickly so regeneration is usually not a concern. The name Okoume Mahogany is a misnomer, because it’s not true mahogany.
