About - CWP

Welcome to Central Wood Products

Central Wood Products (CWP) is a “Boutique” Lumber company located in Winter Garden, FL. It is a direct importer of fine lumber and wood products from Trinidad which includes Teak and Genuine Mahogany. It was established in late 2015 and has been growing organically since then. Although CWP is a relatively “young” company it is backed by the generational knowledge and experience of its founder and her family. Ms. Devika Maharaj, the founder, has been in a sawmill and lumberyard environment for much of her life.

Much of her early childhood was spent at her grandparents’ sawmill and lumberyard and later on at her parents’ sawmill and lumberyard (Central Lumber Ltd., simply called the yard). It is safe to say that sawdust is in her blood. She is the eldest of four, and like her, each of her siblings has worked at the yard in some capacity over the years. Her brother owns and operates “Bob’s Mouldings.” His company manufactures wood mouldings, corbels, rosettes and other wood products. Central Wood Products imports its Teak and other woods and wood products from Central Lumber Ltd and Bob’s Mouldings. CWP also sources lumber and wood products from US based sawmills and manufacturers.
