Sri Venkateshwara Furniture Works

Our shop, Sri Venkateshwara Furniture Works, is located at 15-4-58 in Gowligudachaman, Hyderabad12. It is an old part of the city and the streets are always full of people and bikes. If you come by, you will hear the sound of saws and hammers before you even see the door. We have piles of wood leaning against the walls and sawdust all over the floor. It is impossible to keep the place perfectly clean because we are always cutting or sanding something. We don't have a showroom with bright lights. Most of our furniture is just sitting there in various stages of being built. We spend our time measuring planks and fitting pieces together. Sometimes the wood is stubborn and doesn't want to cooperate, so we have to spend extra time on it. We aren't a big factory with machines doing everything. We do a lot of it by hand because that is how we learned. The neighbors often stop by just to say hello or to watch us work for a bit. It gets very hot in the summer, and the sweat drips onto the wood, so we have to keep wiping it off. We aren't trying to be anything special. We just like working with our hands and seeing a finished table or chair at the end of the week.
