Bharat Timber

Bharat Timber is located at Plot 902 in the 3rd Phase of Gidc. Our yard is full of wood stacks of all different sizes. You can smell the pine and teak as soon as you get close to the gate. It is a very physical business. We spend the whole day loading and unloading logs and planks. The sun can be quite brutal in the afternoon, so we have a small shed where we sit to catch some shade. I started this place because I liked working with my hands. We don't have any polished sales pitches. If you need wood, you come and look at what we have in the yard. We tell you the price and that’s about it. The machinery we use for cutting is quite old and loud, but it gets the job done accurately. My son helps me with the accounts, though he’d rather be out in the yard moving wood. We don't have a website or anything like that. People just know where we are. Sometimes the delivery trucks show up late and we have to stay past dark to get everything put away. It is tiring work and our clothes are always covered in sawdust by the end of the day. But it is good to see the stacks go out to be made into something useful. It’s a simple, honest way to spend the day.
