Alternatives to Okoume?

Submitted by Trond A - Fri, 11/15/13 » 8:06 AM

I am having a really hard time finding anyone who can supply me with 3 and 4 mm okoume for my Kaholo SUP-board. Does anyone know if I can use any alternative plywood? Can I use birch, for example??

Have you tried contacting Shellman? According to their website they have a distributor in Sweden.

What about World Panel Products, Inc. I know they have plenty of 2mm & 3mm shoot they even have 1.5mm! Hope it works out.

I did obviously forget one crucial fact: I live in Norway! Still, thanks for the advices. I will check it all out. Can anyone else point me in the right direction here in Scandinavia?
