Visiting a Wood Store ( Exploration)

 As I have mentioned before, that I have been studying about wood as a part of interior, I happened to visit this awesome wood store here in Jaipur (my city). At first I obviously thought it was just a store with lots of wood samples and stuff. But when we entered deep into the room, a whole new area appeared which was just huge! The entire floor was covered with layers and layers of sawdust. Stacks of timber logs, natural wood and engineered. 

 

Plywood

Madhya Pradesh teak

Hdf

Shera board (cement mix with wood)

Veneer

Batches of wood divided in colored dye

Flexiply - Type of ply that can be curved easily, used for curved designs

Buddha (laminate) 8 x 4 feet

(some veneer samples)

The above two wall decoratives are made of actual wood and looked gorgeous! These were expensive but were totally worth the price! There were a lot of designs, in wood, leatherite, etc. The image below is of one of my favorite designs. This complete design was made from corks! 

Buddha carved out of a particular indian tree.

I am enjoying learning and discovering so much about wood and its types in detail. Everyday I come to realize that the possibilities of creating designs are endless through research from magazines, books, visits, internet. And am very excited about the upcoming tasks. Hope to share more of my experience in the coming time :) Cheers!
