Turning Wood into Music: The Art of Garie Chavez

In this inspiring episode of The Weather’d Report, we sit down with Garie Chavez — a Arizona-based artist, musician, and master craftsman — who has gained a loyal following for his driftwood guitars, handmade guitar stands, and functional art.

Garie shares the creative journey behind his brand Guitar Tree, where he transforms reclaimed wood, salvaged materials, and natural driftwood into one-of-a-kind instruments and decor. His work is where music, sustainability, and artistic craftsmanship collide.

We dive into:

  • The origins of Garie’s unique artistic vision
  • The process of building custom guitars from raw, weathered wood
  • How nature and music influence his designs
  • His thoughts on the value of craftsmanship in today’s fast-paced world
