About Okan Timber

Okan, scientifically known as Cylicodiscus gabunensis, is one of the heaviest and most durable hardwoods from West and Central Africa. It is highly valued for its exceptional strength, resistance to decay, and ability to withstand demanding outdoor and heavy-duty applications.
Okan heartwood ranges from yellowish-brown and reddish-brown to deeper brown tones. The grain is commonly interlocked with a medium to coarse texture, giving the timber a distinctive natural appearance.
Our premium Okan Timber is carefully selected for log diameter, length, straightness, grain quality, density, and overall condition. We supply logs, rough-sawn boards, slabs, and custom-cut timber according to your exact specifications.
Okan is particularly suitable for applications where strength, hardness, abrasion resistance, and natural durability are important. It is widely used for bridges, railway sleepers, heavy-duty flooring, decking, hydraulic works, outdoor structures, and other demanding construction applications.
