James Sagui has been designing and crafting one of a kind furniture and sculpture for over thirty years. Coming from a long lineage of artisans, he was groomed to be a woodworker from an early age. By the time he was fifteen he had sold his first piece of handmade furniture - since then, he has shown, lectured and published in the United States and abroad; his work has been and continues to be shown in galleries and museums such as the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. JBS has recently relocated his studio-shop to West Palm Beach, Florida, after operating a woodshop in Boston for twenty years and his recent work is on view at the BIBA Gallery on Worth Avenue, Palm Beach, Florida.

"...Having a carving tool in one's hand, working the wood, one is connected by the chisel much like one is connected to paper with a pencil. I use tradtional carving tools because of my training in traditional woodworking, the historical connection and because of what I feel to be a spiritual link between the material, the tool and the creator..."
