Okoume plywood (also called Gaboon, Combogala, or Okoume Mahogany) comes with a high strength-to-weight ratio, and meets strict standards for strength, durability, and resistance to decay and delamination. That’s why it’s the only Plywood we use in our banquet tables.
Our Aluminum Tough Edge Tables are made from 11 Okoume layers, 2 veneer layers plus four applied layers of polyurethane to the top surface, and two coats to the bottom! That’s 19 layers of protection! And by the way, Okoume plywood is made from sustainably grown and renewable lumber). Edges are pressure wrapped with our own high tensile strength Aluminum edge banding, applied with tons of pressure -- for a lifetime of beauty and consistent performance.
Okoume plywood is naturally resistant to moisture and insects, making it a great choice for outdoor projects, and for use in damp environments, When it comes to different types of plywood, Okoume is considered the lightest and strongest, especially since it comes from one of the most beautiful evergreen trees.
Okoume plywood is commonly used for building racing boats and other uses where lightweight wood is needed. It can also be used for building furniture or on kitchen cabinets because of its lustrous appearance. Okoume has a uniform texture and the grain is straight to barely wavy that looks interlocked and attractive.
- We use sustainably sourced farmed wood in all our wood products.
- We do not use old growth trees, we do not deforest.
- We plant new trees in countries devastated by deforestation.
- Our tables are stronger because every joint is extra strong . Others use a single screw to attach the table top to the framing, but our table tops are bolted to their frames, with a lock nut and washer - - and glue! And not just any bolts, we use cold-formed steel alloy
bolts to improve the physical strength and longevity of our tables.
