Barouke WoodCrafters Gallery was founded in 1994 as an independent artisan gallery in the heart of historic downtown Wilmington. From the very beginning, we have been driven by a deep respect for craftsmanship and a passion for wood as both a functional material and a powerful artistic medium.
At Barouke WoodCrafters Gallery, wood culture is central to everything we do. We work closely with skilled local, regional, and international artisans who share our values of quality, sustainability, and thoughtful design. Through the use of premium materials and time-honored techniques, we present handcrafted works that are meant to be used, appreciated, and passed on.
Our gallery is best known for fine handcrafted wood art, including home décor, functional objects, and sculptural pieces. To complement our wood collections, we also offer select works crafted from metal and clay. These materials are thoughtfully chosen as accents that enhance and highlight the beauty of the wood, creating balance and visual harmony throughout the gallery.
We believe meaningful art should be both beautiful and practical. Each piece we curate reflects authenticity, purpose, and respect for the natural materials from which it is made. By supporting artisans and ethical production practices, we aim to foster a positive relationship between craft, community, and culture.
What began as a small collection of handcrafted wood objects has grown into a carefully curated destination for fine artisan works. Today, Barouke WoodCrafters Gallery remains committed to providing a welcoming and professional environment, exceptional customer service, and a gallery experience rooted in integrity and care. Our mission is simply to honor craftsmanship, support the makers behind the work, and share timeless handcrafted design with those who value quality and artistry.
