The half models offered by Sasanoa Shipwrights are made by Jack Stone, a boat builder for twenty five years, who resides in Arrowsic, Maine, a small coastal island. Jack hand crafts each model with the skill and attention to detail befitting such a traditional boat building art. Commission us to make a custom model of your boat. These models are built from plans obtained through the archives of various maritime museums.
Great care is taken to offer a true representation of the shape of the boat or ship.
All of these Half Models have a beautiful hand rubbed gloss varnish finish. The back boards, which may be omitted, are either hand rubbed cherry or satin black oiled cherry edge molding hardboard. Models made to be displayed outside have Bristol varnish. Our models are made of an all natural product, wood, Pine, Cherry, Walnut Cedar, and Mahogany are used. Variations in color and grain are to be expected, even desired, because it makes each work of art unique.
