Bundle of Fin Keel Jigs
$ 35.00
A bundle of vintage wooden jigs originally used in the assembly of fin keels, which are stationary plates projected downwards under boat hulls that provide wind resistance. 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. Now ready to help bend some wood planks or even composite decking material. 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.
