A Luxurious Handcrafted Tribute to Chris Craft
This OMH Chris Craft model pays tribute to one of the most celebrated American boatmakers of the 20th century. Each model is handcrafted by skilled artisans using mahogany wood and traditional plank-on-frame techniques, mirroring the construction of full-sized boats. Multiple coats of varnish are carefully applied and polished to achieve a flawless glossy finish, while chrome and brass fittings, leather seats, and a detailed dashboard showcase refined craftsmanship.
Chris Craft boats first gained fame in the 1920s under Christopher Columbus Smith, whose high-powered racing designs became synonymous with speed and elegance. Their sleek hulls dominated competitive boating, winning prestigious races and awards. During Prohibition, Chris Craft boats also became the vessel of choice for industrialists, gamblers, and even mobsters, adding to the mystique of the brand. Today, Chris Craft remains a symbol of nautical luxury — a legacy captured beautifully in this handcrafted OMH wooden model.
