Chris Gibbons is a self-taught woodworker and the maker behind Madra Siopa. A lifelong New Englander, Chris developed a passion for woodworking at a young age, drawn to the craft’s combination of creativity, precision, and connection to natural materials.

His work focuses on creating high-quality, handcrafted pieces that are both beautiful and built to last. Each piece is thoughtfully designed with an appreciation for the character of the wood, attention to detail, and the belief that everyday objects can be both functional and timeless.

Why Madra Siopa?

The name Madra Siopa comes from the Irish language and translates to “Shop Dog.” It’s a nod to Chris’s Irish heritage and a tribute to his beloved dog, Oliver.
