Hand painting topsides and superstructures
Traditional hand painting is one of the hardest finishes to get right, and we’ve refined both our process and the products we use.
John Shaw trained at the world-famous classic boatbuilders McGruer & Co in Scotland, so at JWS we combine traditional skills with modern products to get the result you want.
Traditional varnishing and spray varnish
A professional varnish or paint finish is tricky and time-consuming, but well worth the patience. A quality varnish finish makes a wooden boat look good, adds value, and gives essential protection against the elements.
We know every product we use, and we have years of experience with the equipment needed for spray varnishing hulls, superstructures, masts, booms and bowsprits.
