Bo Gibbs | Master Craftsman & Artist
I have been creating objects for over 30 years. I am a third generation woodworker. I still own a table that was built in 1929 by my grandfather and I also have several pieces that my father made.
I was fortunate to grow up on the boundary of the Canaveral National Sea Shore. Growing up surrounded by water and wildlife; I am forever influenced by natural world, and especially the ocean.
I began making things at an early age; pirate swords for my playmates, rafts and canoes, and repairing boats with my father. I was also very fortunate to have some great art teachers in middle school, who inspired me and opened my mind up to art and encouraged me to continue my art endeavors. While attending a woodshop class in high school, I was bitten by the woodworking bug, and from that point forward I was fascinated by creating objects that combined art with functionality.
Upon graduation from high school I joined the military and proudly served 22 years. While in the service I was fortunate to travel the world and visit some of the most esteemed museums and see some of the greatest art ever created.
In my creative journey I have attended classes at the Mark Adams School, and the Jeffery Lohr School of Woodworking and have created hundreds of objects, sold many pieces at galleries in St Augustine and shipped pieces all over the country and a few internationally. My hope is that by incorporating my creations into living spaces, it brings some of the beauty of the natural world into people's homes.

“The process to build these objects takes time, passion, and hard work. They are built to last. It is my hope that my work will be passed down from generation to generation. No two pieces are alike, they are truly unique one-of-a-kind objects. I don’t have production lines, or mass assembly line pieces, each item you see on this site was individually designed and made by me, from ideas and details inspired by nature.”
