\"\"We began building things with wood<\/strong> more than 40 years ago.\u00a0 We hope it shows more in the quality of our work than in the wrinkles on our faces.<\/p>\n

If you are a fan of woodworking—and your presence here makes us believe you are—you know there is something special about the natural beauty and strength of wood.\u00a0 Synthetic materials are unable to duplicate the incredible look , feel, and aroma of a freshly sawed plank, let alone a completed carving or constructed piece of art.<\/p>\n

Some people will say steel is more durable.\u00a0 Our grandparents had wood toys when they were children and you can find many of those pieces still around today.\u00a0 They’re still tough.\u00a0 We’re talking about the toys.\u00a0 But that goes for many of the grandparents, too.\u00a0 And that’s good enough for us.<\/p>\n

If our wood creations will last only throughout our lifetimes, so be it.\u00a0 But, we’re betting they’ll be around even longer so that our great grandchildren can fight over them.\u00a0 We’ll build them tough enough to stand up to the tugs, pulls and yanks.\u00a0 That’s the best we can offer.<\/p>\n

Note: As with anything made by hand, our products may possess some minor flaws, a nick here or discoloration there, visible by close inspection.\u00a0 We hope recipients of our items appreciate the time, effort, and care that go into making them.\u00a0 We hope customers will see any imperfection as a mark of character that makes their piece special.<\/p>\n

\"Logo<\/a>

Logo gear is available through our supplemental merch catalog. You will find our trademark wood grain and stripes and other designs on shirts, phone cases, coffee mugs and much more.<\/p><\/div>\n

Please, have a look around and see that we build toys for adults.\u00a0 Enjoy!<\/p>\n

Surfboards
\n<\/strong>In the spirit of pioneer wave riders of yesteryear, we make wood surfboards that are both functional and gorgeous.\u00a0 Beginning with a poplar stringer, we create a frame with ribs and wrap it all with an eye-catching combination of colorful wood strips.\u00a0 We inject foam into its belly and close it off with lightweight rails of varying materials.\u00a0 This process is painstakingly slow and extremely detailed.\u00a0 We work hard to approach perfection.\u00a0 The result is an incredible work of art to be ridden, displayed and cherished for generations to come.\u00a0 Seawood surfboards are in high demand and it takes many weeks to craft a seaworthy product.\u00a0 Thus, we rarely have any boards in stock.\u00a0 We’re happy to make one to a customer’s specifications, however, and, at time of ordering, will provide a reasonably accurate date of delivery.<\/p>\n

Skateboards<\/strong>
\nHand-carved from exotic hardwoods and wrapped in fiberglass cloth with epoxy resin, Seawood skateboards are approximately four-foot-long durable works of art.\u00a0 They turn heads and create quite an impression whether they are cruising down the street or hanging on an executive’s office wall.\u00a0\u00a0 They are high-end luxury vehicles.\u00a0\u00a0We deliver them with wide, longboard trucks and top quality cruising wheels and bearings.\u00a0 Seawood skateboards are \u201cexclusive.\u201d\u00a0 They make a statement about their owners.\u00a0 Because production is slow and customized, very few Seawood skateboards can be made and offered to the public.<\/p>\n

Skimboards<\/strong>
\nBasic shapes and beautiful aesthetics are characteristics of hand-cut,\u00a0fiberglass-covered Seawood skimboards. \u00a0They exude style and elegance while creating a splash in the shore break or sliding along the edge\u00a0of a rain-swollen street. \u00a0If skimming is your passion, you should ride the best and make a statement everyone will hear with their eyes.<\/p>\n

Other<\/strong>
\nOccasionally, we veer from our traditional path and create something different. These items, ranging from rocking horses to ukuleles, usually end up as donations to be raffled or auctioned at charity fund-raising events.\u00a0 You can get more up-to-date info about these creations and their destinations through our Seawood News<\/strong><\/a> area and Community<\/strong><\/a> pages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
