okoumé Explanation: Aucoumea klaineana Aucoumea klaineana (Angouma, Gaboon, or Okoumé) is a tropical hardwood. It is typically found in equatorial Africa (e.g. Gabon). A weak wood with low decay resistance and moderate dimensional stability, the major use of Gaboon is in the manufacture of plywood. Its attractive appearance means that it is often used decoratively as the top surface veneer in panelling and furniture or, in solid form in luxury items such as boxes for cigars or other high value items (e.g. audio equipment). http://www.madeiporto.com/madeira-especie.asp?id=14&zona=afr... |
