Built to appear original
to the yacht.
A cross-section of disciplines — from exterior teak decks to custom composite seating and CNC-machined components.
True Wood Design is an owner-operated marine fabrication studio building the custom woodwork, teak decks, fiberglass, and composite components that shipyards and captains trust aboard world-class yachts — where craftsmanship, fit, and reliability cannot be compromised.
We are brought into the projects other shops avoid — unusual geometry, discontinued parts, damaged components, and complex one-off fabrication — and we solve them to yacht-level standards.
Complete teak deck replacement, fairing, CNC-cut panels, caulking, and fine teak repair on vessels exceeding 200 feet.
CAD/CAM design and CNC routing for repeatable, exacting marine panels, joinery, and complex curved components.
Custom one-off molds, hatches, and composite lounge seating — fabricated and installed, including M/Y Utopia IV.
Professional scanning reproduces existing components and curved geometry, cutting fitting time while improving accuracy.
High-gloss tables, cabinetry, and fine interior woodwork finished to read as original to the yacht.
Aaron & Lydia on every project, with a solar-powered mobile shop for precision work performed dockside or onsite.

Our reputation is built on solving the difficult problems that many shops avoid.
Our solar-powered mobile shop lets us perform a wide range of work onsite and dockside — minimizing downtime and keeping the project moving without removing components from the yacht.
Every project begins with understanding the vessel and its intended use — not simply building to a drawing. Modern digital workflows meet traditional fine woodworking.
Survey the vessel and 3D-scan existing components to capture true geometry and reduce fitting time.
CAD modeling for fit, weight, durability, and serviceability — reviewed before any material is cut.
Precision machining and joinery in our shop, using marine-grade materials and composites.
On-vessel installation and yacht-level finishing so the work reads as original to the boat.
Send the vessel details and scope. We'll review feasibility, materials, and approach — and respond with a clear path forward.
