Noklin Posted October 22, 2005 Posted October 22, 2005 Does anyone know anything about Joubert Okoume BS1088 marine plywood made in France? The suppliers site indicates that it is certified by Lloyd Quote
JeffM Posted October 22, 2005 Posted October 22, 2005 That's what my boat is built of--with those same markings. I know little about wood, but when I was looking for a supplier of marine ply, I found a source of Okoume that was a little cheaper than that quoted by some of Graham's listed sources. Joubert was what they sent me. Without much standard for comparison, I can only say it seems to be good stuff. I understand that European marine grade is made to stricter standards than ours in the US. Quote
Charlie Jones Posted October 22, 2005 Posted October 22, 2005 In some 40 or more sheets of the stuff I haven't found a single void- not even a 1/16th one. Pretty much all I use. Quote
boatbuilder.org Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 I've used hundreds of sheets of the stuff and have nothing negative to say about it. Of all the plywood, I think Okoume is the nicest to work. ---Joel--- www.boatbuilder.org Quote
