Wooden Ships & Masts

Custom Wood for Professional & Amateur Shipwrights

Need Tamarack for boat ribs? Bracing knees for boat building? Extra-long timbers for a ship’s mast? Currier Forest Products can provide them along with a wide variety of products from native species custom manufactured to meet the needs of the amateur or professional shipwright.

Currier Forest Products mills sustainably harvested Eastern White Pine and Red Spruce from Vermont for shipbuilding. The Northeast’s mixed deciduous and coniferous forests host a variety of species that are rot-resistant and have been used in boat building for thousands of years.

Whether your project is large or small, we can customize every part of the project for you.

Did you know? We provided the foremast for the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum’s replica canal schooner, Lois McClure, which is modeled after two 1862-class canal schooner which sunk in Lake Champlain. Read the Museum’s Blog telling the story of “Looking for a Big Stick.”
