Okoume - Marine Plywood

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, delivered right to your door. 

We keep a healthy inventory of marine plywood in stock at our Annapolis, Maryland shop. Local pickup is welcome! Please call ahead to check availability. For showroom hours and directions click here.

Shipping Notes:  Our shipping department will obtain a quote from our freight carriers for all plywood shipments. Online orders will not be charged or processed until the customer approves the shipping quote. 

Full-size sheets (4' x 8') of Okoume plywood must be packaged and shipped on a pallet per freight carrier requirements. Shipping rates typically start at $600.

Half-sheets (4' x 4') of Okoume plywood, which can be shipped Ground without a pallet, are subject to an oversize surcharge. Shipping rates typically start at $175. We can cut half-sheets to (2) 2' x 4' sheets and ship via Ground at a reasonable price. Please call us for more information if you have any questions.
 

Longer lengths of Okoume plywood, joined together with puzzle joints, also are available.
