Description:
Okoume has a salmon pink to pinkish brown or reddish brown colour, darkening upon exposure to light to a darker mahogany-like colour. The timber is considered to be fairly resistant to rot. The wood takes well to stains, oils, varnishes and glues very well.
Uses:
Most exterior doors and window frames in South Africa are produced from Okoume. The timber serves as a good replacement for Meranti and more expensive species such as Sapele and Acajou in the manufacture of furniture.
