Built primarily with dense southern live oak, its hull was 21 inches thick in an era when 18 inches was common. Paul Revere forged the copper spikes and bolts that held the planks in place. It was during the ferocious battle with the Guerriere that British seamen, astonished at how their cannonballs were bouncing off the Constitutions hull, cried out, Sir, Her sides are made from Iron! Hence, the nickname, Old Ironsides. The Constitution today is a national landmark and is currently docked in Boston. This is a newly made piece in excellent condition. Exotic Wood, Wood Base.
