Hunter Bay Woodworking is a custom woodworking shop with a broad skill set. We have experience with traditional as well as contemporary boat building techniques including cold molding, plywood, stitch and glue, and custom interior design and construction. Boats large and small are our love but we are equally capable of building doors, cabinets, furniture and the occasional circular staircase.
We enjoy working in an instructional and collaborative mode, sometimes building side by side with our clients; we provide the shop space, tools and expertise. Sharing our woodworking skills and experience is a joy.
Please get in touch with us to discuss your project, whether you have a design in mind or if you only have the beginning of an idea. We'll be able to help you find the right design and ultimately we'll get you and your day dream in the shop.
