Sawlogs Sawlogs are characterised by physical properties such as: — cylindrical and straight-grained without major bending, — a diameter of not less than 15 cm. They will in general be sawn (or chipped) lengthwise for the manufacture of sawnwood or railway sleepers (cross-ties) or be used for the production of sheets for veneering (mainly by peeling or slicing).

Okoumé and sipo Okoumé is obtained almost exclusively from the forests of Gabon. This wood is soft and salmon-pink in colour with a fibrous texture and an irregular grain, slightly resembling mahogany but much lighter in colour. The tree yields well-formed cylindrical logs admirably suited for slicing and peeling and is chiefly used in the manufacture of veneer sheet.

Of poplar and aspen (Populusspp.) This subheading covers all species of the genusPopulus. Poplar wood is pale in colour, light and very soft. It is used in joinery (interiors of furniture, packing cases) and for making plywood. After the conifers, it is the principal source of cellulose for paper pulp.
