In praise of wood

New Indian Express  

After navigating the auction system, Pradip managed to acquire 10 of the 12 species he had listed. Pradip has since developed an expertise in using “waste woods”, ones that would otherwise be discarded or used for firewood. “When carpenters hear that you’re not using teak, they either get worried or snobbish, saying, ‘There’s no teak, what’s the point then?’” he says with a laugh. As part of this renovation, “at great cost, effort, and time, we stripped all the structural timber that was painted green back to reveal the natural grains of the wood,” he recalls. I didn’t attend the auctions; I would go afterward and ask Wadhawan, ‘Bauji, dikhao kya bacha hai,’ meaning ‘Show me what’s left.’ He would introduce me to new types of wood.
