Welcome to
Duck Trap Woodworking

If you're interested in traditional small craft like wherries, double enders and skiffs, you've come to the right place. We've built more than 200 of them here at Ducktrap since 1972, and in all those years have helped countless others here and abroad to build their own boats.

Image Gallery

There may be no better way to communicate what we do than through images. As you browse our site, take a few moments to let your eyes linger here, and see if you can get a feel for our signature touch. We'll be adding more as time goes on...

Shipping Information

We have yet to find a reliable automatic shipping calculator; it's frustrating to say the least. And so, because we want you to have the fairest deal possible, once we receive your order we calculate shipping separately and forward a PayPal invoice for the cost of shipping–and we get a reduced rate. The one exception is our Boatbuilding in Pictures books which ship free within the US and benefit from reduced shipping elsewhere. It's a bit of a nuisance, we admit, but it keeps you from being overcharged.
