About this range
Azobé (ekki), okan and tali are among the densest and most durable timbers in the trade. They resist rot, fungi and termites, so most applications need no chemical treatment.
Azobé in particular is used in marine work because it resists marine borers. We supply marine-grade structural sections for ports, harbours and waterfront projects, cut to your drawings.
Species
Okan
Dense and strong with an interlocked grain.
Best for

How much fits in a 40ft container?
These species are very dense, so a 40ft container usually reaches its weight limit at roughly 25 m³, before it is full. We confirm exact volume on the quote.
Figures are estimates. Exact volume depends on sizes, packing and weight limits.
Questions
What is the minimum order?
One 40ft container per order.
Do the timbers need treatment?
Most applications need none. These species are naturally resistant to rot, fungi and termites. Azobé also resists marine borers.
Can you cut to our drawings?
Yes. Send drawings or a bill of quantities with your enquiry.
Can I see samples first?
Yes. Tick “I would like samples” on the enquiry form and tell us the project and expected volume.
