a
Scientific Name
Cylicodiscus gabunensis

Mimosaceae
Description
Okan heartwood is yellowish brown, often with a slight green tinge, on exposure darkening to reddish brown with a yellowish or greenish tinge; it is distinctly demarcated from the 5a 8 cm thick, pale pink sapwood. The grain is interlocked, texture moderately coarse. The heartwood is very durable. It shows excellent natural resistance to wood decay fungi and is also resistant to dry-wood borer, marine borer and termite attacks. The wood is often slightly striped and lustrous, and has an unpleasant smell when freshly cut.

Treatability
Not permeable
a
Seasoning
The wood should be air-dried rather slowly or be carefully kiln-dried, to avoid deformation.

Moderately stable in service
a
Durability
Very durable
a
Workability
Okan is difficult to saw and work, with some dulling effect on cutting edges, and force is required. Stellite-tipped saws are recommended. It is difficult to obtain a smooth finish because of the interlocked grain. Planing shows best results at a cutting angle of 15A . The wood holds screws and nails well, but pre-boring is needed. The gluing, staining, polishing and painting properties are satisfactory, but for optimal polishing effect the use of a filler is required. Turning gives good results.
