The Boats

Due to the intimacy of the building process each of the Woodbacker boats has it’s unique character. One could even go as far as to say that these boats have a soul. Though they are individuals, the Woodbacker boats all bear the same bond of inimitable quality.

From the design all the way to the finishing polish everything is completed by one man. Woodbacker boats are hand-built with great passion and workmanship by Jukka Metsäntaus. Every detail is considered and actualized by sincere handcraft. The workshop is located in Oulu, Finland.

From The Boatmaker.

“Quality. It’s personally very important to me that I can feel the professionalism behind my work, and that is the goal for every Woodbacker boat I’ve built.”
