Raluhkwood: Crafting Unique Woodwork Designs in Botswana. A passion for craftsmanship and creativity has fueled the rise of Raluhkwood, a locally nurtured woodworking business founded by Kaone Khutso Selema from Bobonong. Operating from a backyard workshop in Gaborone’s Block 3, the business specializes in handcrafted, personalized woodwork that caters to a wide range of customer preferences.
Raluhkwood sets itself apart by offering custom-made designs rather than a fixed product catalog. Customers have the opportunity to bring their creative ideas to life, working closely with Selema to craft unique furniture and decor pieces. The business produces a variety of wooden items, including tables, pedestals, cabinets, bed bases, chopping boards, speaker boxes, jewelry boxes, advertising boards, event signage, and personalized gifts.
Raluhkwood has steadily grown its reputation as a go-to brand for tailored carpentry solutions, attracting clients who appreciate quality craftsmanship and custom designs. While currently operating from a modest workshop, Selema’s long-term vision is to expand the business, enhance production capacity, and bring more bespoke woodworking solutions to Botswana’s market.
As Raluhkwood continues to make its mark, it stands as an example of local entrepreneurship, innovation, and the power of craftsmanship in Botswana’s growing creative economy.
