Northwest Profiles: Passion for the Past (handcrafted wooden boats) 

Growing up in a somewhat poor rural area surrounded by large lakes we had a significant summer population that filled our lakes with mostly high-end fiberglass ski boats. But on one lake there was a Jewish family that had an amazing looking solid mahogany ski boat as kids we called it the Jew boat. We didn’t mean anything negative in fact just the opposite as we greatly admired that boat.

Art in motion!! Bless the Stancraft Co for their art pieces for the rest of us to see and enjoy, wow

The wooden boats are warm ,beautiful, graceful, I most certainly remember them on the Ohio River, being raised on in the Louisville, area in the 50&60s

Those are some gorgeous contemporary wood boats! My own little 1962 wood boat graces the cover of my music CD; there’s something warm and beautiful in the grain of a wood boat.

Man Id love to have one of these!

beautiful shop wish I was working there

These people are truly artisans.

i love these style boats! beautiful!!!

The boats are gorgeous, indeed!!!

god, those boats are so pretty!

I love these! - syn.

this boats are ,indeed , art on the water

I saw one at the Barrett Jackson auction years ago it was Beautiful!!! 💙👍😁😎🇺🇸👊

fiberglass boats are made form sand and things that where not alive at any time.trees are alive and they grow and moved and have a soul, that's why wooden boats look and feel so great the wood that onced grew and took on all the feelings of the world around it gives the boat a soul of its own,a wood house has more of a homely feeling to it then any concret house just my 2 cents anyway

Beautiful. 👍👍👍

Thank You.

Works of ART!!!!

Cool video.

Absolutely gorgeous. I love that they focus on craftsmanship. Unfortunately, African Mahogany is being overforested and is becoming endangered.

hi everyone ,if anyone else is searching for boat building plans online try Joolaim Rudder Replication (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my m8 got cool success with it.

This is our classic woodie, not quite as nice as these ones but we did restore it ourselves! /watch?v=-m414m9kZfQ

Nobody builds wood boats around here (Erie) anymore...sitting on the backseat so you can see...HA!

A German and an Austrian did a 1:6 Torpedo 29" modell boat . watch ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4mtSeD9Q6Kg.html . The kit is available from www.segelboot-modelle.de/wb/pages/motorboote/sportboote/torpedo.php

I'm not sure but ,if anyone else is searching for build your own fishing boat plans try Joolaim Rudder Replication (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my m8 got amazing success with it.

Nice boats but horrible video editing...

Almost too beautiful n well crafted to put in the water its a wooden art crafted by masters, Nothing no other material comes close to wood for boats, even today after so many years the RN sailing ships of the past are the most majestic n beautiful ships that have ever sailed the high seas, Great job guys

Are these wooden boats able to withstand salt water use? In shore only. Just curious.
