Wood Boats

Plywood has been a material of choice for boat building for many centuries. Its weight gives it excellent flotation. The advantages to plywood, besides its light weight, is that it can be "fashioned" or molded into many angles and curves with ease. Arching and curving of this fine wood can be extremely beautiful and breathtaking. You will be awed and amazed at the beauty of the finished product. From the building of model boats for a beginning craftsman who wants to develop his dream, to the expertise of the skilled artisan, plywood will yield it's benefits for many years to come. Plywood is more economical for the beginning builder, and building a boat with wood is totally within the ability of an amateur craftsman.
Although newer and more exciting materials like aluminum, fiberglass and synthetics are used in making flashier boats, plywood, treated and properly prepared, has more important aspects, especially it's durability, which will thereby ensure its quality over most of the newer materials, for many years to come.
The process of building one's boat from plywood requires basic tools, and just a few other special items, like an electric saw, planer, and sander. The development of the boat is one of many stages, in preparing the wood, and completing the individual design.
There are also Marine Plywood Building kits available.
