“I had an instant affinity for people with old wood boats,” he recalls. “They were
trying to repair something worn out, to keep it from going away, and there’s really nothing so gone
as a piece of wood rotted away. We were all dedicated to
fixing and repairing things worn out or ravaged by time, so this was a natural
combination.”
Steve Smith, owner of Smith & Co. in Richmond, CA, and master chemist
behind the most trustworthy wood restoration products on the market says,
“I was born with fascination with chemistry, and the wonder of discovery.”
Perhaps he underestimates his tendencies by calling them a ‘fascination,’ however
it was these inclinations that would later serve him well in formulating products
for the antique and classic boat community.

"Ultimately, we will need to cut down fewer trees to replace those already cut,
used and prematurely decayed. One commonly thinks of saving trees while they
are still alive. This technology saves them after they’re dead."
