    I couldn't be happier with the way my projects turned out. The only problem we had was with the actual shipping company. The mishandled my package and cracked one part of it. Josh handled it with extreme professionalism and courtesy. He has already communicated that the crack has been fixed and is working on the other fix. Over the month or so it took to create my humidors from start to finish I couldn't have asked for better communication. If we had new ideas or color changes he was right there to respond quickly. I will definitely be ordering from him again in the near future. Thank you again Josh for your hard work and professionalism.

    For Custom piano desk
    5.0

    We had a general idea to combine our daughter's homework desk and electric piano into one space-saving design. Josh created plans on software and made it easy to visualize the planned finished product. My daughter loved that she could customize the legs, overall style and add-ons like cubbies. We picked a stain that matched her existing furniture. Josh delivered a high quality, above expectation product on time and on budget. Would we use him again? Yes! In fact, we needed some custom-sized cabinet doors to match a high-end Lowe's design. Josh had the know-how to create the intricate details and the finished product is almost identical to the Lowe's doors for half the cost. Anytime we need custom woodworking, we will contact Josh.

    Josh did a 10/10 job on my project! Not only did he make exactly what I was looking for, but he brought new ideas to the table as well. He was prompt at responding, as well as open to new feedback and changes. I could not have asked for someone to make my engagement box! I would easily recommend him to anyone in the future needing custom woodworking.

    For Solid Walnut Endgrain Cutting Board With Counter Edge
    5.0

    Josh was a great partner to work with on both the cutting board I had originally ordered as well as an added bench top he didn't mind at all adding to my order. Every communication was answered faster than I expected and I never felt as though we weren't "getting" each other. Both pieces arrived right on schedule and look amazing. I'd highly recommend him as someone to work with, and will absolutely consider reaching out to him again for future projects!

    For Queen sized Montessori bed for baby
    5.0

    Josh did an awesome job for us! We were originally looking for a Montessori bed for our toddler, and shipping from online was crazy expensive. With just a couple of pictures, Josh built us the same bed (only better since we could change the dimensions to our liking). As an added bonus, I mentioned to him that I had a vintage child’s rocking chair that had been badly stored for many years and was in need of some TLC. Not only did he fully restore it, but he even changed the name embedded in the wood from mine to my daughter’s. The rocking chair is absolutely beautiful and now bears my baby girl’s name. Josh was easy to communicate with, very prompt, and friendly too. We will absolutely use him again for future services, and we highly recommend him if you’re in need of woodworking, especially in the Fort Worth area.

    I am extremely please with my custom made box from Rivard. I really needed somewhere to place all the important items you may need before leaving the house - wallet, cards, rings, etc. Rivard worked with me by email and we tailored his stock design to meet my needs. What I got was a quality attache box for my bureau. I highly recommend him, he is a skilled wood worker. Thank you!

    For Dueling pistol box
    5.0

    I had a presentation dueling pistol box made for me by Josh Rivard and I could not be happier with the finished product. I had this vision in my head about what I wanted it to look like and Josh made it come true. He is a true craftsman. He walked me though the entire process, asking me all the right questions, giving me sound suggestions when I wasn’t sure and listened to my suggestions as well, allowing that vision of mine to take shape. The price was incredibly fair and the box arrived on time and professionally packed to withstand everything the carrier might do to it. I recommend to anyone who is looking to have a wood project fashioned by a master, to allow Josh to make your own vision come into being.

    Josh was wonderful to work with, and made sure what he was making was accurate to what I wanted. The finished product was exactly what I wanted, for only a little more than what I asked for originally. I would definitely recommend!

    I am thrilled with Josh's precision workmanship, his attention to detail, the materials he used and his skilled joinery. All beyond my expectations. Josh communicated with me from the get-go, making suggestions and being certain that we were on the same page with all the details before he started the project. He worked swiftly and from beginning to end it seems like in no time I had my finished Keepsake Box. Well done Josh and thank you!
