We have a small workshop located in Ottawa, Ontario

serving CANADA's National Capital Region and beyond

Our love of this natural resource grows the more we handle different materials and create different pieces

At gaviaWOODWORKS we are driven by

the beauty of nature and all of its elements

respecting our natural environment

reducing waste

being sustainable and local

We SALVAGE branches, logs and pieces of wood that were headed for the campfire, landfill or chipper

then we turn them into beautiful and useful things

All of our items are HANDMADE and HANDCRAFTED

That means each one is unique and different

Natural materials have slight imperfections - these add character

We use hand tools, power tools and finishes like beeswax and mineral oil

to bring out the colours and lines hiding in the wood

We MINIMIZE WASTE by finding uses for end cuts

Smaller items like mobile device stands and ornaments or the legs on serving boards

​We try to reduce our impact on the environment by (re)using little or no packaging
