Timber Work — Custom Craftsmanship for Your Vessel

Timber is at the heart of traditional boatbuilding, and there’s still nothing that matches the warmth, beauty, and character it brings to a vessel. At RS Shipwrights, we love working with timber — and Ryan’s attention to detail means every piece of woodwork we produce is something to be proud of.

From small repairs to full custom fabrication, we handle all aspects of marine timber work with the skill and care your boat deserves.

What we can do:

Timber Repairs rot, impact damage, delamination — timber issues don’t fix themselves, and leaving them too long usually makes things worse. We assess the extent of the damage, remove only what needs to go, and rebuild to the original specification (or better).

Custom Timber Fabrication Need something built from scratch? Ryan works with you to design and build custom timber components — coamings, hatches, cabinetry, handrails, swim platforms, and more. Every piece is made to fit your specific vessel.

Teak Coamings and Trim Teak coamings and cockpit trim are a speciality of ours. Ryan has completed unique, highly detailed coaming installations that owners have described as exceeding all expectations. If you want something that stands out from the crowd, this is worth a conversation.

Varnish and Teak Refresh Tired, weathered timber can be brought back to life with proper preparation and a quality varnish finish. We strip back the old finish, repair any surface damage, and build up a beautiful result that protects the timber and looks stunning.

Our approach: We take the time to listen to what you want, discuss the options honestly, and then get to work. No rushing, no cutting corners. The goal is always a result that lasts and looks exceptional.
