OLD MODERN HANDICRAFTS
1. Construction?
All models are handmade from scratch by skillful and experienced craftsmen. They are built according to scale of the original ships through original plans or pictures using plank on frame construction method. The hull is joined by multi-pieces of dry thin wooden bar together.
Inside the hull, we use a special imported glue that makes the wood strips stay close to one another and not split, crack or twist when the weather changes.
Our models are completely built, NOT kits. Each model comes with a display stand.
2. Materials?
We use the high quality woods like rose wood, ebony, black wood, mahogany, teak… detailed as follow: (Botanical names / English)
* Diospyros (Ebony) (for buttons and small details)
