Quality Wood
Live Edge Slabs
Visit River Valley Woodworks, near Boise, ID, for our beautiful live edge slab furniture!
Our natural live edge slabs are remarkable! Why? Because we saw our logs across the grain, exposing the beautiful inner wood of our carefully selected, urban hardwood trees. Then we cut them into slabs that vary from 12″ up to as wide as 68″, creating large wooden surfaces for tabletops, countertops, kitchen islands, conference tables, sliding doors, bar tops, desktops, and more. These slabs are stacked using spacers to ensure the wood dries appropriately during the aging process, which can take as long as a year. Once dried, the slabs are placed into a kiln, where they are dried to between 8% and 10% moisture. Then, the slabs are expertly surfaced using a surfacing machine to create beautiful, rustic furniture.
While live edge slabs are our most popular type of furniture, we also offer reclaimed flooring, beams, and other home furnishings. The variation in urban trees causes a wide variety of styles and grain so that almost every piece is unique. At River Valley Woodworks, we are careful to select and prepare the wood so that it is both unique and reliable. We provide woodworking pieces for residential customers, construction contractors, and commercial properties in and around Treasure Valley and Boise, ID. Whether you need a piece custom- created for you or you would like to choose one from our shop, we offer something for every homeowner and woodworking aficionado.

All of these species are found within a 50-mile radius of our shop.
Our Services
River Valley Woodworks partners with tree service companies to reclaim urban trees that are being removed. The majority of the trees we harvest are coming down because they are dying or pose a safety threat to surrounding structures. We can often offset the cost of tree removal to the homeowner because we are able to turn the tree into beautiful furniture rather than sending the log to the landfill.
As woodworkers, we love creating beautiful furniture for homeowners and providing inventory to other woodworkers that enables them to serve their customers as well. Since we also specialize in reclaimed wood from dismantling old barns, corrals, and log houses, as well as taking down hardwood trees, we have access to and offer a wide variety of specialty wood products.
