Unidentified Plank Bundle
$ 30.00
Vintage thin planks of wood (marked Teak) that look similar to milled follower planks originally used to construct canoes from the Willits Brothers original shop. These are unmarked, so we are unsure what they were originally used for. Great pieces of wood good for projects outside of boats! Width and thickness varies but is generally 1" x 1.25" with a triangular cut and tapers at the ends, there are three pieces measuring 171", 207", and 132" in length for approximately 42.5' linear feet.
This comes from Tacoma's own Willits Brothers Canoe Co. Makers of a highly sought after "double planked" canoe design that was constructed until the mid 60s. Very cool piece of Pierce County industrial, and canoe building history. Learn more about it here! Please note that several Willits experts reviewed the material as items from the workshop that were not critical to telling the story of the Willits Brothers (hence why we have it and not the museum). Most of their collection is in the museum's property now.
