Specialising in Live Wood Creations
Welcome to
Riviere Woodworks
My name is David and I'm a hobbyist woodworker passionate about all things woodwork. After years of working with wood and being encouraged to go to market, I launched my dream in 2023 - Riviere Woodworks!
I handcraft all my furniture and do not mass produce items. This means all my pieces are unique and created with a high amount of care and attention. If you are looking for a lovely addition to your home with guaranteed quality, and a warm and friendly service, I’m your man!

My Commitment
Sustainability
At Riviere Woodworks, I understand the importance of sustainability in the production of my furniture. Riviere is a proud partner of One Tree Planted which means for every sale made, a tree is planted.
I package all small items with eco-friendly packaging, use renewable energy to power my tools when the sun is shining and I recycle wherever possible.
My commitment to sustainability makes Riviere Woodworks the perfect choice for those looking for furniture that has been made with respect for the environment.
Preserving Nature
Live Edge Wood
Live edge wood refers to timber that has been cut from a tree in such a way that the natural edge of the wood, including the bark, is preserved on one or both sides of the board. Live edge wood retains the unique and irregular shapes of the tree's outer growth rings, knots, and other natural features. Each piece of live edge wood is unique due to the natural variations in grain patterns, knots, and imperfections. This makes every piece of furniture a work of art with its own individual character. This is in contrast to the clean lines, knot free wood of much manufactured furniture.
Live edge wood showcases the inherent beauty and characteristics of the tree it came from. The grains, textures, and colours of the wood are on full display, creating a visually striking and organic appearance.
At Riviere Woodworks, live edge wood is my preferred choice of wood due to its rustic quality that can add warmth and charm to a space. Live edge wood furniture brings a piece of nature indoors, creating a sense of connection to the outdoors and the natural world.
"I have the Sea Scene Chopping Board and am absolutely delighted with it. The wood used to make it is of very good quality and is hard-wearing. That together with the lovely detail of the sea waves makes it a very attractive addition to my Kitchen."
Linden, South Shields 2024.
"Just wanted to say “thank you” for the stunningly simplistic bench and the beautifully crafted ocean wave Charcuterie board that you made for my husband and I.
They are both really attractive but functional items & you clearly take a lot of care in the development and production of your creations. I also love the fact that sustainability and respect for the environment is at the heart of what you do.
As you know I purchased these items for my husband, for our 25th Wedding Anniversary and he loved them & I get to use them too "

"David is very communicative, very polite and helpful. Above and beyond what you expect. The butcher's block arrived extremely quickly and the engraving is perfect, exactly what I had imagined! I hope my husband likes it when I gift it to him!"
