Shelf in plywood Okoume

Shelf in okoume plywood cut to your measurements.

Okoume plywood is widely used for furniture, refinishing or for ships, where it is used for decorating bedrooms, closets and living areas. The shelf can also be used outdoors if it is wood protected with e.g. paint, varnish or oil.

The selected edges will be polished nicely, as well as having the sharp edges taken off, so the shelf is pleasing to the touch. Unselected edges will be sharp and you will be able to see the saw cut.

A plywood shelf in okoume is, as the name suggests, made up of several thin layers of okoume that lie on top of each other, so that the wood grain changes for each layer. On a 6 mm thick shelf there are 3 veneer layers, whereas on a 22 mm there are 11 veneer layers. This makes for a stable shelf and gives a nice look to the edge. A plywood shelf is easy to saw, screw, glue and mill in, and is used for many DO-IT-YOURSELF purposes.

The plywood shelf is sanded on both surfaces.

Available in several thicknesses.

The shelf is untreated, and therefore needs either varnish, soap or oil.

The shelf calculator takes into account how many bearers are to be used depending on the shelf thickness. The thicker the shelf, the fewer shelf brackets. The number of recommended shelf carriers is only indicative, should the shelf carry a large weight, additional supports may be necessary. In addition, the nature of the wall also determines how much the shelf can be affected by weight.

Make sure that the shelf is adequately supported. How much depends on the thickness and shelf size, as well as how much load the shelf is exposed to. If the shelf starts to bend, more support is needed.
