Boat Building Lumber

The art of wooden boat construction 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 the mating of 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. The marine lumber from Kellogg Hardwoods includes time-tested species milled to the highest quality of smoothness and uniformity.
