Handmade in the USA
It started with a boy who grew up on concrete and a girl who was raised in the country. These two people grew up, fell in love, and got married. The city boy had always wanted to live on his own tract of land, the girl had grown up this way and thought, why not give it another shot. After much debating and lots of prayer, the boy talked the girl into building a pole barn for a home on their new wooded acres. Then the boy decided he could do most of the building himself, which he had always loved figuring things out, plus it would save money. Not to mention he didn’t even own a hammer, much less any other tools. Many YouTube videos were watched, and soon after they started seeing their “barn” come to life. The boy enjoyed building so much, he decided to try his hand in some furniture for their new home. One thing led to another and this boy and girl started selling their hand made furniture and home goods in nearby markets. Once again, after much prayer, they took a leap of faith and opened Raw Furniture Co.

MICHAEL GIBSON, OWNER & CO-FOUNDER
If you like somebody that can be described as easy going, ambitious, glass half full, can talk to anyone, dreamer, jokester, and fully bearded, then this is your guy. When he isn’t working in the wood shop, he is constantly trying to think of the next idea or project to tackle. Every day to Michael is a holiday and owning his own business is just another piece to the pie.
ANDREA GIBSON, OWNER & CO-FOUNDER
Andrea is a planner by fault but is the one who always makes sure things get done. She loves the little things in life, and it doesn’t take much to get her excited. She tries her best to keep Michael grounded but it’s quite the job. Michael has turned her into a DIYer and now she actually enjoys the perfectly imperfect. She is a homebody who loves spending time with their two little girls, Waverly Mae and Simslee. Some of her loves besides her little family and their three big pups, are bubble baths, movie nights at home, a good book, making to-do lists, and anything warm and cozy. More often than not you can find her out in the garden playing in the dirt.
