About Sunnyrock Woodworks
Meet Chris Gibson
Sunnyrock is helmed by Chris Gibson, a self-taught furniture maker and conservationist based on Walpole, MA. Chris creates hand crafted furniture designed for everyday use, balancing form and function. Influenced by Scandinavian, Japanese, and mid-century modern traditions, he focuses on clean lines, simple craftsmanship, and a deep respect for the natural material.
The Sunnyrock Mission
Each Sunnyrock piece is thoughtfully handcrafted from solid hardwoods, combining traditional joinery with modern techniques. No two items are the same - each one reflects the unique and natural beauty of wood.
Furniture from big box stores - made with low-quality materials - will eventually end up in a landfill. We aim to move away from disposable goods by designing heirloom-quality pieces that people are proud to own.
We love to give a second life to materials that would otherwise be discarded. Whenever possible, we use responsibly sourced or reclaimed lumber. Materials headed for the chipper - local trees and old church pews - are put back to use, honoring their history.
Rooted in history. Protecting our future.
My studio is named in tribute to Sunnyrock Farm - the last working farm in Walpole. While the farm closed in 2012 after a century in operation, my studio carries on its legacy of hard work and respect for the land.
As part of that commitment, I donate a portion of profits to organizations that protect open space, including The Trustees, Mass Audubon, Adams Farm, New England Forestry Foundation, and One Tree Planted.
