Chetek Rowboat Restoration

[Dave Osborn]

This is a long shot, but I’m restoring a Chetek rowboat, built in Chetek, Wisconsin. One of many boat builders in Wisconsin history.
I’m in need of a metal emblem like the one below. 8” long.

Technorogy being what it is these days, you could probably have one or more made from the one you have. 3D printing or a laser cut could get you a blank. Plastic is chrome able a is metal.

Yup, cnc laser cutter. My buddy who does some signs and lettering for me has a small laser cutter. A good sign/artist shop would probably have one or know someone who does.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Please share your success if you have one made. I'm looking to do the same for a 15' Barbour runabout which my Dad bought new in 1956.

I think I’ve found a source to buy an emblem. The Chetek Historical Museum apparently sells them. The museum is closed now until late spring so I haven’t actually made contact with them.
