AHMEDADBAD, India -- Canada Wood Group (CWG), in partnership with Bramola, a Delhi-based manufacturer, showcased high-end furniture made with western hemlock and other Canadian wood species at IndiaWood 2020 held in March.

Bramola worked with local artisans to embellish individual pieces of the showcased furniture with carvings and colorful paintings. The IndiaWood display included a sofa, console, chests of drawers and side tables. According to CWG, hemlock was used as a substitute for teak and other traditional hardwoods that Bramola normally uses for its furniture. The western hemlock is certified as being harvested from sustainably managed forests.
