Okoume, aucoumea klaineana, is a fast-growing, plantation-grown tropical hardwood. Okoume's clear, beautifully-figured grain has a golden, honey-colored hue beneath epoxy and varnish, while its low density yields ultra-lightweight hulls. Chesapeake Light Craft's okoume marine grade plywood is manufactured in Europe's finest mills to specs exceeding British Standard 1088 and Lloyd's of London standards.
High-quality okoume is essential for homebuilt kayaks and smallcraft, but it's difficult or impossible to get locally in most places. Over the last 15 years, CLC has developed a specialty in shipping plywood all over the United States and become one of most widely used marine plywood suppliers in the the lower 48 states. Careful packaging allows us to ship small orders of marine plywood via air freight, delivered right to your door.
