Boatbuilding Books

Boatbuilding endeavors have launched many woodworking addictions and created countless serious craftsman along the way. Becoming a boatbuilder means learning most woodworking disciplines - joinery, cabinet building, furniture design, carving, even turning... just to name a few.

We stock a range of boatbuilding books to start the novice on his path or advance the most experienced boat builder. For centuries, the necessity of building boats for survival fueled the early demand and development of woodworking tools. Today, boatbuilding traditions are still creating the need for specialized knowledge and woodworking tools to meet the needs of modern boatbuilders.

We recently republished our list of boatbuilding tools in the Retro Woodworking Archive section of our website - Boatbuilding Tools: A Comprehensive List, written by John Wermescher c.1986.
