Restoration of Older Wooden Boats Except for modern
caulking, paints, and varnishes, we use only traditional methods and
materials to build or restore wooden
boats. Restoring a finely made boat to its original condition is
every bit as satisfying as building a new boat from scratch.
Restoring a fine boat gives a new life to something which has acquired
intrinsic value with age; that through design and craftsmanship has served
someone well over the years. In renewing the boat we honor it
with hard work and an attention to detail, and it repays us with its own
lessons as it's restored.
Our restoration work
started about 20 years ago with wooden and wood-canvas canoes. Then came
rowing-fishing boats, such as the Keuka Lake trout boat and the St.
Lawrence skiff and a couple of fine old Snipes.
