For 16 years, HONG KONG SENHEDA TRADE LIMITEDhas been trading African wood all over the world. We’re a reliable company that sells high - quality wood. Among all the woods we sell, Okoume wood is special because it has many great qualities and can be used in many different ways.

What Makes Okoume Wood Special

Okoume wood comes from the rainforests in Central Africa. Here’s why it’s so good:

How It Looks

The inside part of the wood (heartwood) is light yellow to brown. Sometimes, it has a little red color. The lines in the wood (grain) are straight and even, and the surface is smooth. It looks really nice, so it’s perfect for projects where looks are important.

Light and Easy to Use

Even though it’s a hard type of wood, Okoume is light. This makes it easy to move around and work with, so it costs less to handle and ship. You can cut it, shape it, and sand it easily. Nails, screws, and glue stick to it well, too.

Strong and Long - Lasting

Okoume wood doesn’t rot easily, and bugs and mold can’t damage it. It can handle wet conditions without warping or cracking. That’s why you can use it both inside and outside.

Strong but Light

Okoume is strong enough to hold up heavy things, but it’s still light. This makes it a great choice for things like boats and airplane interiors, where weight matters.

Ways to Use Okoume Wood

Building Boats

Okoume is one of the best woods for building boats. Because it’s light, boats use less fuel. It doesn’t get damaged by water, so boats last a long time. People use it to make the boat body, the deck, and other parts.

Making Furniture

It’s great for making furniture because it looks good and is easy to work with. The light color of the wood can take different paints and stains, so you can make furniture in many styles.
