Ayous Wood — Ayous (Eyoum) Sawn Timber

Also known as: eyoum, abang.

Eyoun (Alstonia spp.) is a lightweight hardwood with a density of approximately 0.4–0.5 g/cm³, making it one of the lighter species in our African timber range. Its pale-colored wood and low durability place it among the "white woods" group, and its low density makes it easy to handle and work in applications where weight matters more than long-term resistance.

Because Eyoun is not a durable species, it is best suited to uses that do not demand prolonged exposure to weather, ground contact, or heavy loading. Typical applications include temporary construction, matchsticks, and pulpwood, where the wood's light weight and workability are the primary requirements.

About Ayous (Eyoum)

Eyoun, also known by its botanical name Alstonia spp., is one of the lightest commercial timber species we supply from West and Central Africa. Sourced through our integrated network of Chinese-invested timber factories across the continent, Eyoun round logs are procured and shipped to markets including China, Vietnam, India, and the Middle East.

For buyers who need a pale, lightweight wood in volume, Eyoun offers a practical and cost-efficient option.What sets Eyoun apart is its weight. With a density of roughly 0.4 to 0.5 grams per cubic centimeter, it is among the lightest woods in our range, comparable in weight class to Okume and Ayous.

This low density makes Eyoun easy to handle, transport, and process. It is pale-colored, which suits applications where a clean, light appearance matters or where the wood will be painted, coated, or finished.

Buyers should note that Eyoun has low natural durability. It is not a species for exposed structural use, ground contact, or marine environments.
