Welcome to Ottercreek Woodworks
Leader in one of a kind Charcuterie Boards in Canada
Born and raised in Tillsonburg, Ontario with a hard work ethic and love for wood and trees, it was only natural that David Schonberger would pursue carpentry as a profession. As a licensed carpenter, David grew tired of the everyday hustle and bustle of the job site. So, accompanied with his natural talent in working with his hands and a healthy supply of unique wood, David set out to share the natural beauty of wood with all he meets.
Using only local hardwoods, the Ottercreek Woodworks woodshop is a busy place full of vision, creation and of course sawdust. Each piece of wood that passes through the shop is carefully selected for grains, knots, and other character features. David now has his wood crafts all over the world!

Upcoming Experiences
Our seasonal event dates are now available for booking.
Rediscover nature at the award-winning From Tree to Table Experience while you gain knowledge about the trees of Ontario’s vast Carolinian Forest with woodworker David Schonberger on 2 acres of property. Gather around an open fire, sip on tea with freshly-foraged ingredients and engage your senses. Communicate with the roots of the forest as we discover fungal networks and reverence of the woodland ecosystem through smell, taste, touch and sight.
Enter the artisanal woodshop to create your own live-edge charcuterie board alongside David and choose your own piece of locally harvested lumber from an array of hardwood species. You’ll also get the opportunity to work with a variety of professional woodworking tools including David’s grandfather’s vintage handtools to shape your board. No past woodworking experience is required as you will experience dedicated 1-on-1 learning with a professional woodworker to help craft your board. By the end of the day, you’ll have a your own charcuterie board that looks professionally made… and the best part is… you made it yourself!!
