I spend a lot of time writing answers to Email questions. I enjoy helping people and answering questions is an important part of the process; one in which I usually learn at least as much as I teach. I don't have all the answers, but I learn new stuff all the time, so if you have questions, do not hesitate to ask!

If you have questions or problems during construction, things you'd like to know about my designs and plans, or just wood-strip boat-building in general, THIS IS THE PLACE to share information. We can all learn from each other's experiences.

Finished Boats and Custom Designs Service

What I like best is designing & building fine, handcrafted wooden boats. If you like the looks and specifications my boats, but haven’t the time, tools and space to build your own, I’d like to build one for you. If my style & specifications aren’t your idea of the perfect boat, or you want an entirely different type of boat (i.e. a canoe, kayak or some other type of rowboat) I’d be happy to design one for you. This is the best way for me to develop new designs. Let’s talk; maybe I’ll have an idea you’ll like, or maybe I’ll have a solution to a problem you’ve been working on.
