*** Quarter-Sheets ship inexpensively via Ground Service (usually the same day they're ordered) *** 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 (BS1088).
High-quality Okoume is essential for homebuilt kayaks and small crafts, but it's difficult or impossible to get locally in most places. Over the last 25 years, CLC has developed a specialty in shipping plywood all over the United States and has become one of the most widely used marine plywood suppliers in the lower 48 states. Careful packaging allows us to ship small orders of marine plywood via freight carrier. For bulk orders (40 sheets+) of plywood, contact [email protected] for special pricing/shipping. Depending on your location, required minimums are necessary to qualify for free or discounted delivery (subject to quantity fulfilments and availability).
Local pickup is welcome! We stock a healthy inventory of marine plywood at our Annapolis, Maryland shop. Please call ahead to check availability. For showroom hours and directions, click here.
Full-size sheets (4' x 8') must be shipped on a pallet per freight carrier requirements; a quote for this will need to be determined. Shipping rates typically start at $500 (pallet freight); even for only [1] full sheet.
Half sheets (4' x 4') are shipped via FedEx ground without a pallet and are subject to an oversize surcharge. Shipping rates typically start at $150; a quote will be provided.
Quarter sheets (2' x 4') are shipped via FedEx ground. Shipping rates typically start at $25; Shipping is calculated in the shopping cart at the time of checkout.
Shipping Notes: Our shipping department will provide a quote for 1/2 and full-sheet orders. Online orders will not be charged or processed until the customer approves the shipping quote.
