About Tim

A living material

GouMang, 句芒, is the god who governs trees and spring in the 《山海经》, the ancient Chinese Classic of Mountains and Seas. It is a fitting reminder that every piece begins with a living material, and that renewal is part of making something lasting.

Made for living

GouMang Creations (句芒木作) began in 2021 as a small weekend project and grew into a lifelong practice. Based in ~~Tucson, Arizona~~ Northern Virginia, we make heirloom furniture with close attention to material and craft, so each piece can gather a life of its own and be passed on.

Beyond the workshop

When we are not in the workshop, we're out exploring the breathtaking Sonoran Desert, drawing inspiration from the state's natural splendor, rich indigenous culture, and historic Asian heritage. Our journey is just beginning, and we are excited to have you be a part of it.
