Common Name(s): Acoume, Gaboon wood, Uume and Zouga.

Scientific Name: Aucoumea Klaineana

Distribution: A specie native to west-central Africa; in particular Gabon,

Equatorial Guinea and the Republic of Congo.

Average Dried Weight: 430 kg/m³.

Color: Okoume heartwood is typically a lustrous pinkish-brown to light red with

a fine, uniform texture.

Grain: The grain is straight to slightly wavy and may be slightly interlocking.

Texture/ pore: The sapwood is pale and grayish, clearly demarcated from the

heartwood. Fresh-cut Okoume heartwood darkens with age and exposure to

light and air.

Durability: It is considered very soft, rendering it unsuitable for use in

situations requiring durability, such as flooring.

Workability: Okoume accepts stain and glue very well. However, even though

soft, this wood is only moderately easy to work by turning, carving, cutting or

planing. The wood nails well but is average or worse for holding screws. It is not

suitable for steam bending. Okoume peels and slices easily and evenly, and

this combines with its good acceptance of glue to give it wide use as veneer and

in plywood.

Color: Pinkish red to a darker reddish brown with darker purple or black

streaks.

Grain: Most often interlocked.

Texture/ Pores: Has a very fine texture and small pores.

Durability: Range from moderately durable to very durable depending upon the

species. It is resistant to termites.

Workability: This varies according to subspecies. In general, it is easily worked

with and has a good finish. It contains silica which can prematurely dull cutting

edges. Gluing can be problematic due to Bubinga’s high density and natural

oils.

Scent: Unpleasant odor when the lumber is wet. This disappears after the wood

is dry.

Common Uses: Veneers, inlays, fine furniture, cabinetry, turnings, and other

specialty items. Since Bubinga trees can grow quite wide, natural-edge slabs of

the wood have also been used in tabletops and other specialized projects.

tools, and has a low resistance to sawing. However, the lighter colored wood

tends to be woolly and more difficult to saw than darker Tiama. There can be

tearing of interlocked grain, but otherwise, a good finish is usually relatively

easy to obtain. Tiama nails and screws satisfactorily with good holding

properties. It also has good gluing properties. The wood has good polishing

characteristics and stains well and evenly.

slightly oily or greasy feel due to its natural oils.

Durability: Very durable and is resistant to terminates.

Workability: Easy to work with machines and glues well; leading to a good

finish. However, due to its high level of silica it affects cutting edges and due to

natural oils, in some instances it may be necessary to wipe the surface of wood

with a solvent prior to gluing/finishing to reduce the negative working effects of

these natural oils on the surface of the wood.

Scent: Teak can have a leather-like scent when freshly milled.
