Subheadline spaceWenneker Woodworks, located in beautiful Midland, Ontario is your source for high-quality custom woodwork of any kind. The business is operated by Charles Wenneker, who founded the business in his hometown of Hoek van Holland in the Netherlands in 1988. After immigrated to Canada in December of 1999, he relocated his business to its current location on Highway 93.
While in Holland, Charles started his career in the summer of 1975 and developed himself towards a fine woodworker, cabinet maker and worked in the restoration of buildings and furniture. He developed his eye for detail and his ability to sculpt and shape wood while restoring the antique woodwork found in some of Holland’s oldest and most admired historical buildings. Since moving to Midland, Charles has built a solid base of commercial and residential clients who appreciate the level of quality and workmanship found in all Wenneker Woodworks products, some of which can be viewed in our photo gallery.

Koen has always had an interest in the trade; even as a young child he loved following his dad around the workshop, watching and learning, and spent his free time creating and experimenting with wood. Koen is a highly driven individual keen on continuing the business into the next generation. Under Charles’ guidance, Koen has developed into a professional and proficient woodworker, and continues to advance in his ability to produce high quality wood products that will last a lifetime.
