Only
the highest quality woods such as rosewood, ebony, blackwood, mahogany and teak are used in building the model ships. In general,
this is how the following woods are used: Plastic is not used.
Ebony (for blocks and small details)
English Sycamore (for the hull)
Rosewood (for the hull)
Blackwood (for the hull)
Mahogany (for the masts, squares, crow nests)
Cherrywood (for the deck)
Canons,
muskets, anchors and other tiny details are made of metal (for decoration)
Sails and rigging lines are made of linen.
The model is handmade from scratch by skilled craftsmen and it's built according to scale of the original
ship, through original plans or pictures using plank on frame construction. The hull is joined by multi-pieces of dry thin
wooden bar together. Inside the hull a special glue is used which helps thin wooden bars stay close to one another and not
split, crack or twist when the weather changes. The construction method is entirely by hand and it takes hundreds of man hours
by an artisan to finish. My model ships can be found at times displayed
in galleries in 5 star resorts like The Venetian or Caesar Palace Las Vegas. From New York to Los Angeles, from London
to Paris and Seoul to Tokyo, you can find the ships in the center of gorgeous galleries. Museums also display the
model ships; celebrities own the ships and television stations such ABC and NBC have use the ships in their shows.
Some have also been purchase by cruise ship companies, movie studios and to be used in advertisements.
