Knot Boards

Early sailors were expected to have knowledge of many various knots.  These  knot boards are not only informative they include a select combination of authentic knots from “The Ashley Book of Knots”.  Designers use hemp and nylon rope and seize with thread to replicate the exact materials and methods used previously (and presently) by seamen.  Each knot is identified with a brass plate.  We begin and complete this process here in the United States and take great pride in our high quality resources and attention to details.  Once tied, the knots are displayed in the traditional mahogany shadow box frame with brass-finished corners or offered in two stylish Italian moldings.  We also present three felt backgrounds in burgundy, black and navy and introduce authentic maps and/or prints.  All knot boards are sealed to preserve and protect the inner items.
