Sana Timber & Plywood Corporation

Our shop is at 91, Sant Savta Marg, Mustafa Bazar, Byculla(E). This part of town has always been known for wood and timber, and Sana Timber & Plywood Corporation is right in the thick of it. The air always smells like sawdust and old wood. We have stacks of plywood leaning against every wall, and sometimes it’s hard to walk through the aisles without bumping into a plank. We don't have any air conditioning, just some big old ceiling fans that move the dust around. It’s a very manual business. We spend the day loading trucks and helping carpenters find the right grade of wood for their furniture. The ledgers we use are still mostly handwritten because that’s how we’ve always done it. My hands are usually a bit rough from handling the boards all day. We have some regular customers who have been coming to us for decades, and we usually sit down for a chat when they stop by. The traffic on Sant Savta Marg can be a nightmare, but we’ve learned to work around the delivery times. We aren't a fancy showroom with spotlights. We’re a timber yard where work gets done with saws and sweat. It’s a bit chaotic and loud, but it’s our way of life. We just keep the inventory moving and make sure the wood is dry and ready to go. That’s our daily grind, and we wouldn't know what else to do with ourselves if we weren't here.
