#OXFORDPROUD: Ottercreek Woodworks and Getting to Know David Schonberger

It’s classic Oxford County: stunning farmland, humble homes, trees upon trees and a commute that commuters will never know. I’m on my way to chat with a young entrepreneur, Dave Schonberger about why he returned to Oxford and how he found success in entrepreneurship.

A technique I’ve perfect over the years to remov A technique I’ve perfect over the years to remove the bark from the live edge of properly kiln dried lumber…..When struck with the right amount of force and at the appropriate angle, the shock waves of the mallet, separate the cambium from wood. The result reveals an edge just as Mother Nature intended with no tool marks or man made defect. I have great success with maple, cherry, walnut, birch and many other hardwoods using varying versions of this technique. Care is needed as to not break the pointed edge of the lumber and finding the exact angle and amount of force for each species is also critical in getting long pieces of bark to come off at once. Take note of tone 🔊 change when the strike is successful.

Last day of the year calls for a nice spa treatmen Last day of the year calls for a nice spa treatment for my trusty @calaveratool -Woodsman- 1st edition Apron. The before is 2.5 years of everyday HARD use. Mostly rough bark and harsh live edge smashing into it constantly …. A quick @leatherbetter1  treatment and we’re good to go for 2023!
