 The art of wooden-boat building today enjoys a renaissance among craftsmen and first-time boat-builders. Although the advent of fiberglass and composite materials nearly took boat-building out of the hands of the individual craftsman, wood is revitalizing boat-building as the best core material for innovative construction techniques. The use of epoxy resins enables mating any type of wood and proves strong, flexible, and durable. Today's boat-builder can create an economical, seaworthy, and higher-quality craft from the enduring, natural beauty of traditional marine and other woods.
 From lofting to woodworking to finishing, whether using stitch-and-glue or clenched nails, you can build your dream - from a kayak to a dory to a yacht - using any wood from Okoume to Spanish cedar to the finest Malaysian teak.
