Okoume

02-27-2012, 02:28 PM

Recently I was given about 30 board feet of Okoume. I did a Google search on it and found that is a Western African wood. It is very light and soft and it dents very easily.

I was trying to find the value of the 30 board feet I have, but I can't find any pricing on it.

Do any of you know what it is worth?

Thanks.

Thanks, Bob. I don't think it is very valuable. It is extremely soft.

That possibly would be a decent carving wood by the way that wiki thing sounds,

Good point, Dale. I'm not a carver, but I have a friend who is. I'm going to give some to see what he thinks. Thanks for the tip.

I clean it up and stuff regularly. If I do a lot of typing, spreadsheets, etc., I use the computer as it’s faster for me but take the tablet to shows and markets to post from there.
