Sjekte 1: Old World Tradition meets CNC Technology


Eiesland Woodwork is known for its high-end custom cabinetry. We have decided to test the limits of our skills and machines by undertaking a new project that combines Old World tradition cutting edge technology. Our goal: To build a boat like a cabinet by modeling the form and every detail on the computer then sending this information to a CNC, or Computer Numerical Controlled, Router.

With various software platforms including AlphaCAM and Rhinocerus, an Onsrud PanelMate CNC Router and the experience of highly skilled craftsman, we are attempting to forge a new method in boat building.

Please follow us as we explore the advantages and pitfalls of this process as we construct a 24' long, wood hulled Norwegian Sjekte.
