"Galaxy" standing timber cutting board - Unique piece

In Rivière, master cabinetmaker Hervé Rouire assembles the colors of different woods like a curtain of planets. Each curve is cut with goldsmith-like precision, the result of patience and expertise, to create a piece with generously rounded lines and a strong character. The back of the board is fitted with four corner feet ensuring perfect stability on any flat surface.

Each plank is born here, shaped in France, nourished by local essences. Sometimes, a few woods from far-flung places — black walnut, iroko, bamboo, wenge — are mixed in, to offer a rare nuance or an unexpected tint.

Its generous shape invites sharing: cheeses, cured meats, tapas… or anything else you can imagine. You can protect the wood by placing your food on lettuce or dried chestnut leaves, or opt for the elegance of a pre-carved presentation.

Crafted like a butcher's block, this board is ready to face everyday use. Specialized glues and waxes guarantee uncompromising food safety.

You can put it to the test… or contemplate it as you would a piece of art.

The secret of end-grain wood: cut perpendicular to the grain, it reveals the concentric circles of the tree's life cycle. Unique patterns, impossible to reproduce. This technique also gives it exceptional resistance to impact and wear—where traditional wood (grain-cut wood) splits.

That's why it's chosen for worktops, butcher blocks or high-end flooring: an alliance of professional solidity and raw beauty.
