Crafting timber with heritage and care for Kenya and beyond
Mount Kenya Sawmills started in 1976 by our grandmother, late Durgaben Shah.
She was a tough woman who started small through hardship and strong work ethic, using a tractor-operated saw and supplying timber to yards in Nairobi. In the 1980s and 1990s, we imported second-hand band saws and heavy machinery, processing around 18 metric tons of logs per day. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, with a full moratorium on forests, we stopped processing and moved into joinery and carpentry.
From raw timber to finished craft, each piece is shaped with patience, precision, and pride.
Warm, enduring floors crafted to carry homes, lodges, and workspaces for years to come.
Careful sanding and finishing that brings out the grain and preserves the story in every board.
Prefab structures made to spec, ready for swift assembly without sacrificing quality.
Hand-finished bed frames built for comfort, durability, and a quiet, rustic charm.
Bespoke tables that anchor rooms with sturdy joinery and timeless character.
Outdoor decking built to weather the elements while keeping its natural warmth.
Sauna rooms built from premium wood for restorative spaces.
Solid timber doors crafted for strength, warmth, and a timeless first impression.
