Summary: PODCAST SHOW NOTES - Episode #011 Marty Loken Interview - Wooden boat builder, rescuer, enthusiast extraordinaire! This week I interviewed Marty Loken who owns the Island Boatshop in Nordland, WA. Marty grew up around boats in Ballard, WA and from a young age, followed in the mentality of his dad - if you want a boat you simply build it. Marty was busy building his first wooden boat - a small pram - when he was 10 years old. Over the years he has refined his skills as a master builder. But he is also super passionate about rescuing old wooden boats - saving them from the landfills and chainsaws and restoring them to new condition. Here's pictures of Marty's boats (click on picture to enlarge): You can reach Marty at 360 301-6767, email him at marty@islandboatshop.com or write to him Box 216, Nordland, WA 98358. His website is at IslandBoatshop.com. Listener Questions and Other No listener questions this week. Tune in next week! Next Week - Interview with Bill Mahler - Ex Dir of NW School of Wooden Boatbuilding! Bill gives us a overview of how the school was started, what courses and degrees are available, and shows us some the cool projects they are working on. Want to help? Please leave feedback! My goal is to build a community of folks who want to connect, learn, and have fun with wooden boats. Your valuable feedback will help me do that. Please tell send me your wooden boat story so I can share it with the world (yep - people from 39 countries are coming to the website). You can use my website comment section, email me: Dan@Hookedonwoodenboats.com, or call our feedback hotline at 424 261-2360. Thanks!
