John has over 40 years of modeling experience and we can make a replica of any boat provided that there is sufficient information available or we can have direct access to it. In fact, we are specialists in making models of boats that have never been modeled before. Having made over 250 models, we have significant experience with Antique & Classic boats, Workboats (from rowboats to lightships), Pleasure craft and Historical craft. We have researched myriad vessel histories and have developed a significant database, a library of a variety of maritime information, as well as contacts with other experts in the field.

Our models are owned by people throughout the world in such places as Sweden, Venezuela, New Zealand and Japan. Our customers range from people that want a copy of their boat for their mantel to naval architects and prominent companies such as Universal Studios and Titan Maritime. We display our work and techniques at about a dozen juried shows every year. Based in St. Michaels, Maryland, we exhibit our work at shows throughout the country. Among these, the "Concours d'Elegance" in Lake Tahoe, California, The Wooden Boat Magazine Shows in Maryland, Michigan and Connecticut, Antique and Classic Boat Society Shows in Mt. Dora, Florida; Clayton, New York; Redwing, Minnesota; Hampton, Virginia and our home base of St. Michaels. Check our "Show Schedule" link, below, for current listings.

Model making, properly done, takes time and patience. Every model, as with every boat, is different and will require different types and levels of work. We are fortunate to have a number of commissions in the works at all times. Please bear in mind that to produce the highest quality of model for you, unless it is one of the boats that we have made for shows, there will probably be a time factor. For short term circumstances we have presentation quality certificates available.

Within this website you will find links, at the bottom of each page to: pictures of our work, our current show schedule, our techniques and philosophies, biographical information, links to other sites of interest and to send us e-mail. Because we have received comments from customers that they did not realize that there was more than this first page, we have deliberately moved the photos to the links below to encourage you to explore the rest of our large site. Enjoy!
