Boatbuilding + Restoration

Where the craft began.

Andrew Wallace founded Traditional Boatworks in 1998 after training in traditional wooden boatbuilding.

That background shaped an approach to woodworking built around material selection, structural integrity, precise joinery and the belief that what is hidden inside a piece matters as much as what can be seen.

Andrew still builds and restores wooden boats. To talk through a boatbuilding or restoration project, start a conversation below.
