Three Generations

Established in 1965 by George M. Olivier III, Olivier Woodworks in Natchitoches has transcended three generations. Presently, Chalon Ahbol and her son, Alix, preserve the legacy, crafting Cypress furniture with designs, patterns and methods reminiscent of George, her father.

Our Process

We like to follow George’s way of thinking: Idleness occupies little time in the shop. When the hands aren’t shaping wood, the mind is. Yet it’s the finished pieces that do all the talking and we absolutely love customizing our furniture to creatively meet our clients’ needs.

Attention to Detail

Olivier’s fine Cypress furniture showcases a distinctive French Quarter refinement that’s as down home as file gumbo. We match the wood grain and place knots strategically to bring out the character of the piece.

Finished by Hand

Our work is a pinnacle of artistry, craft and skill, with oil based stains and general finish top coats to create furniture that will be passed down through families as treasured heirlooms.
