The Timberline Team

In 2007, lifelong carpenter Bob Gula and his family moved to Tallahassee, Florida. As he became more involved with the community, Bob saw that many homeowners had a need for a particular type of furniture…for their gardens, patios, and backyards. Thus was born Timberline Garden Carpentry- a mixture of Adirondack chairs, potting benches, custom wooden fence work, and the occasional gazebo and trellis.

One client commissioned Bob to make a large farmhouse table, which sparked a whole new leg of the business: tables and other items perfect for the ever-present Tallahassee get-together. Whiskey barrel high-tops, vendor carts, and a one-of-a-kind mobile bar were created. After the farmhouse table was re-made (twenty times) for one of Bob’s daughter’s weddings, then re-used for his other daughter’s wedding, it occurred to the family: why not rent these tables and other items to other brides and event planners looking for furniture with that perfect Southern-rustic charm?

Since then, the rentals have taken off, with Timberline offering a variety of unique and distinctly farmhouse-garden items that can’t be found anywhere else in the Panhandle or South Georgia.

Bob Gula

president/owner

Designer - Builder - idea man

I’ve loved wood- the feel, the smell, the durability of it, and the cool things you can craft from it- since I was a boy. No matter what else I did, I always found myself drawn to building wood products, first for myself, then as Christmas gifts, and finally designing and creating beautiful, functional wood pieces for others.

A secret about me though, is that I also have an appreciation for the designs other people create. However, I don’t simply duplicate someone else’s ideas. I’ll start with their photo, like maybe from Pinterest, and add improvements to make it fit my taste and standards, often building it in my head overnight. Once that happens and I can see it fully built in my mind, the rest is easy!
