Custom
Woodworking & Fabrication Services
When Buck Woodcraft was born
here in Marathon, our custom woodworking services were
pretty much the core of the business, along with sales of marine
lumber, plywood and the like. And they still are, because every boat--and every boat
owner--is unique, with highly individual needs that don't lend themselves easily to
off-the-shelf solutions.
The only real difference today is that a lot of our custom
work is done not just with wood, but with King Starboard marine polymers as well (for a
description of that wonderful material's uses and advantages, click
here).
Marine lumber and Starboard share
a fair number of basic milling and fabrication requirements, and Buck Woodcraft is
fully set up to handle both types of material. Our equipment includes commercial-grade
table, panel and band saws, and the usual planing, shaping and routing tools, plus no end
of specialized production tools. We use WEST System epoxy, Tite-Bond II waterproof glue
and a vacuum bagging and clamping system in fabricating traditional marine wood
components. And we employ a hot-air plastic welding system when building components with
King Starboard, polycarbonates and other plastics.
"I received the handrails you made for me and
they are great. Tell whoever ran the equipment that fine craftsmanship is
hard to come by these days."I'm
putting your name on our C&C Yachts web site for handrails etc."

What do custom woodworking services cost?
Buck Woodcraft's basic rate is $80 per hour, with a $25 minimum shop-time fee.
 Also,
we now have a very nifty CNC Router
that allows precision cutting of complex designs in wood, King Starboard and
other materials. The minimum set-up and run-time cost for that puppy is $75.
 As with any custom services work, the best way to hold your costs to a minimum is to
carefully think your requirements through before the project gets underway--and
we'll provide whatever advice and guidance we can to help make sure your project starts
off on the right track and stays there.
Since 1995, Buck Woodcraft has produced hundreds of custom projects. About
80% of our work is marine related, but we also build, re-build and restore
architectural items, furniture, cabinets, enclosures and the like for land-based customers as well.
Here's a representative list of the kinds of projects we have produced (for a selection
of project photos, click here):
- Marine cabinets and lockers

"Just wanted to let you know that the
[companionway] screen and frame arrived safely today. They are

"[A] local woodworking person I
brought the screen to was very impressed with your workmanship. The
screen really is a work of art!"

Regarding a custom
King Starboard storage container for his propane tanks:
"Everything fits as planned and it
looks very good. It
is as strong as anything on my boat and I like the
nonskid top."
"...Worth the money - and even the shipping cost!"
