Kartik Wood Works

You can find us at Plot 4 in A.S.Raju Nagar, which is part of the Kukatpally area. The address is 22-261/1, but most people just look for the sound of the saws running. Kartik Wood Works isn't a showroom; it is a place where we actually cut and join timber. The floor is almost always covered in a thin layer of sawdust, no matter how much we sweep it up. We have got different types of wood stacked up against the walls, waiting to be turned into something useful for someone's house. Sometimes it is a door frame, other times it might be a simple shelf or a kitchen cabinet. We don't use a lot of fancy machinery, just the standard tools that get the job done right. It gets pretty loud when the planers are running, so we usually have to shout to hear each other over the noise. Kukatpally has grown so much lately, but this little corner of A.S.Raju Nagar still feels like a proper workspace. We take our measurements very seriously because wood isn't cheap these days, and mistakes are a waste of everyone's time. A lot of our day is spent just talking to people about what kind of finish they want or why one type of wood is better for their project than another. It is honest work, and it leaves your hands feeling rough at the end of the shift. We like it that way, though.
