Gaboon (also known as Okoume) is a lightweight tropical hardwood with a warm pinkish-brown hue and subtle, uniform grain. Renowned for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and ease of machining, it is commonly used in marine-grade plywood, cabinetry, and lightweight joinery. Its smooth surface and aesthetic appeal make it ideal for applications where both visual quality and performance are important.
