Description
Okoume plywood is made from the wood of the Okoume tree. It is sometimes called Okoume Mahogany and has a pinkish-brown or pale red hue. Okoume has a uniform texture and the grain is straight to barely wavy that looks interlocked and attractive. It must be sealed to prevent any moisture from getting in, which is painted and finished with epoxy and varnish to prevent any problems from exposure to the elements.
Okoume plywood is commonly used for building racing boats and other uses where lightweight wood is needed. It can also be used for building furniture or on kitchen cabinets because of its lustrous appearance. Okoume is durable, lightweight, and attractive, which makes it appropriate for woodworking. You can reface kitchen cabinets using Okoume plywood, for example.

Processus de production
RAW MATERIALS STORAGE
We have several warehouses to store all our Raw Materials like Poplar Veneer, Hardwood Veneer, Sapelli/Bintangor/Okoume/Pencil Cedar/Pine Face/Back, etc. Once new raw materials delivered into our warehouses, our workers will inspect all and place different grade ram materials into different warehouses.
RAW MATERIALS PRETREATMENT
Once production started, our workers will pretreat the raw materials including the sides joint, gluing.
VENEERS ASSEMBLE
Our workers will assemble the wood veneers one layer by one layer on the assembly line. Like the 18MM will consist of 11 layers wood veneers.
RAW BOARDS PREPRESS
After Veneer Assemble Process, all the Raw Boards need to be prepressed by Cold Press Machine. So that the Raw Boards can be shaped into Raw Plywood. This process need at least 2 hours.
RAW PYWOOD HOT PRESS
Shaped Raw Plywood will be laminated by Hot Press Machine. This process need at least 1 hour. After Hot Press, the Raw Plywood bonding will be strong.
RAW PYWOOD REPATCHING & PUTTYING
This process is to fill the gap on the surface of raw plywood.
RAW PYWOOD SANDING
Put the Raw Plywood into Sanding Machine. After sanding, the raw plywood surface become smooth, and thickness will be even also.
FACE/BACK VENEER ASSEMBLE
Raw Plywood will be glued firstly. Then workers will place the face/back veneer like Sapelli /Bintangor/Okoume/Pencil Cedar on the both sides of raw plywood.
COLD PRESS
After Face/Back Veneer Assemble Process, plywood will be placed into Cold Press Machine again. So that the Face/Back Veneer will bond with the raw plywood initialy. This process need at least 1 hour.
LAMINATED PYWOOD HOT PRESS
This process need at least 30 minutes. After second Hot Press, Face/Back Veneer will bond with the raw plywood strong.
CUTTING & POLISHING
All plywood will be cut into standard size like1220X2440MM. Then plywood will be polished gain to make the face/back smooth.
INSPECTION & PACKING
Inspect boards for defects (e.g., cracks, uneven density, surface imperfections). Grade the qualified boards based on quality standards. Stack and package the boards for storage or shipment.
