Historic Eco-Timber
Over a century ago, the Ottawa River was used to float logs downstream as transportation to ship to the world. Many of these logs sank during their voyage and have been preserved at the bottom of the river. These heritage logs are superior to today's timber since they grew hundreds of years ago in ideal light/temperature conditions, causing a tighter annual ring density and stronger/low resonant wood. Why cut down new forests when we can reclaim these unique pieces of history?![]()
We are passionate about both high-quality audio and our environment. Founders, Ben Seaman and Scott Rathwell, are both raising families on the beautiful Ottawa river, which has brought them together as good friends and now business partners. In their spare time they are often found outdoors with their families.
Ben (Electrical/Acoustical) and Scott (Mechanical) combined, offer 30 years of engineering and product management expertise, giving them the ability to drive perfection into their design. Ben's past design experience on award winning speakers, such as Definitive Technology and Golden Ear flagship speakers has provided him with the skills necessary to produce superior speaker that surpasses acoustic expectations.

We have merged the HIFI sound quality expected by audiophiles and integrated the convenience of bluetooth to create a speaker that people will showcase in their home for years to come. Each speaker has a unique stunning grain pattern and will be a statement piece in any surrounding. We formed Riverwood Acoustics because we demanded a home speaker with serious sound and style..

Funding Target
We are using crowdfunding for pre-sales of our home wireless speaker. Here is our setup and pilot production run costing breakdown.
- Company production infrastructure setup
- Material cost (Premium solid birch River wood)
- Assembly cost (Handcrafted in Canada)
- Tooling and machining cost
- FCC and UL/CSA approvals testing
The Impact
Not only will you receive a premium solid wooden wireless speaker but you will help change the world, here is how:
- Reclaimed River wood creates a solid non-resonance, non-toxic speaker enclosure.
- We source our timber from the Ottawa River to minimizes our carbon footprint. We pay a premium price for this wood but when you see and feel its historic grain, you will understand why.
- Handcrafted locally in Canada to help generate local jobs.
- We partner with WaterRangers.ca to provide funding for youth waterway testing and education, as a way for us to give back to our community.
