A Boat In The Woods

Welcome—and thanks for coming over from A Boat in the Woods. If you’re drawn to careful restoration, traditional skills, and figuring things out one step at a time, you’re very much in the right place. For more than 50 years, WoodenBoat Publications has been a home for people who love working with their hands and learning deeply—from our magazine and boat plans, to tools, books, videos, classes, and a community built around craft. Whether you’re building your first boat, restoring an old one, or just curious to learn more, we’re glad you’re here.

 

 

 

From here, you can explore WoodenBoat in whatever way suits your interests. Dive into our School to learn hands-on skills, browse the Store for well-chosen tools, books, and gear, explore our magazine—available in print and digital—to discover boat plans, stories, and practical knowledge, or see how it all comes together at the WoodenBoat Show. Take your time—there’s a lot to explore, and it’s all built around the same idea: learning, craftsmanship, and a lasting connection to wooden boats
