our story

We’re Gilliane and Victor — the husband-and-wife duo behind Fusteira Wood Design, a Central California-based woodworking studio creating custom, handcrafted wooden pieces for homes, events, and businesses. When we’re not in the shop, you’ll find us exploring California’s trails with our pups, Tala & Wanda, or hunting down the best local eats.

I (Victor) discovered my passion for woodworking while building furniture and decor for our home and my music studio. Gilliane, with her intricate line art and geometric designs, brings the creative detail that makes each Fusteira piece truly unique.

For years, we dreamed of turning our skills into a business, but between busy schedules and everyday life, it kept getting pushed aside — until 2020 changed everything. With more time and a fresh perspective, we packed up, moved north of Los Angeles to a small town near Fresno, and built our wood shop from the ground up.

That’s how Fusteira was born — a small, family-run business dedicated to thoughtful design, sustainable craftsmanship, and personalized wooden creations that bring people together.

Whether you’re looking for a custom sign, a personalized gift, or a one-of-a-kind statement piece, we’re here to help bring your vision to life.

We can’t wait to create something special for you.

What Does Fusteira Mean?

Fusteira is a blend of two words in two different languages: fusta (Catalan) and madeira (Galician) — both meaning wood. A nod to our roots and the material we love to work with.
