When choosing timber for manufacturing, versatility, workability, and cost-effectiveness are important considerations. Okoume timber, a popular African hardwood, is widely valued for its lightweight properties, attractive appearance, and excellent workability. From musical instruments to everyday furniture, Okoume offers a wide range of possibilities for manufacturers seeking practical and economical timber solutions.
At YYW Timber, we supply African Okoume sawn timber for different processing requirements and applications.

Okoume is used in the musical instrument industry, particularly in the production of guitars and other stringed instruments.
Its relatively low weight makes it an attractive option for instrument manufacturers looking to reduce overall weight while maintaining a practical balance between performance and cost. Its natural grain and appearance also make it suitable for applications where visual appeal matters.
Depending on the instrument design and construction requirements, Okoume can be considered for selected guitar components and bodies.
For manufacturers seeking an alternative to more expensive wood species, Okoume offers an option worth exploring.
