STANDARD STYLE BOAT SHELF UNIT


These unique hand made shelf units are the Basic style free standing model which you can easily wall mounted.

They are surprisingly sturdy with the shelves supported on three sides and a support under the front of it. We have used one of these for 6 years in the workshop for tools and general storage and it is still going strong. They can be beefed up a bit if you want it stronger.

You choose your size, lights or no lights which we finish as standard in a water based gloss varnish all round.

The lighting strip, 5v so it doesn't get hot, is positioned as a back light with multicolour options, dimmer, flash, fade etc with remote control. Choose the colour you want, how bright and enjoy.

We may be able to change the position if you have other ideas. 

 

We can finish yours with a colour outside/inside or varnished outside and colour inside for a little extra.

Knot Boards

Knot Boards

 

There are three options and they are all hand-crafted knot board, made in the UK from recylcled plywood and wood. It could be a unique addition to any collection. Perfect for those interested in sailing or nautical history, this piece is sure to be a conversation starter.

There are seven of the more commonly used knots on the board -

Figure Eight

Slip Knot

Bowline

Clove Hitch

Sheet Bend

Reef Knot

Carrick Bend

However, I have a total of 16 that I use for these and other boards so I can customise this item if you wish. Just contact us fot the list and choose your 7 knots.

You can choose the outside hull colour too. Use the drop down menu for this. The inside colour is white or cream.

Also included is an information sheet for the knots on the board and what they are used for.

Please note that these items are built and ready for finishing as you want so allow at least 3 days for dispatch.
