Liberty Wooden Flagpoles is a division
of Marine Restoration and Salvage, which is owned and operated by
principal builder Suzanne Leahy.
Since we started in 1999, we have had the good fortune to work with
several area high school students. They have filled our seasonal labor
needs beyond our expectations with their enthusiasm, eagerness and
energy. We have also worked with incredibly talented professional boat
builders and woodworkers who have helped on specific projects ranging
from spar lay-ups to restoration projects to custom boat building.
We began building flagpoles in response to a request by some local
shopkeepers and homeowners. We quickly realized that flagpoles can be
built and shipped anywhere, and as a result, Liberty Wooden Poles was
conceived. The demand has been phenomenal. We have shipped as far away
as California and Bermuda, and have worked on very involved projects
such as the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the cities of Toledo,
Ohio and Newport, Rhode Island to name a few, as well as many
businesses and private homes.
Since we began, we have sought to improve our fabrication techniques
and investigate better methods of construction, adhesives, and sources
for wood and finishes. We have subjected our poles to a series of
stress load calculations. The results confirm that our unique building
process will result in a stronger, longer lasting flagpole.
In early 2006, we completed the construction of a 2400 square foot
addition bringing the total shop space to 4800 square feet. The
woodshop is fully equipped to handle many diverse projects. We added a
56-foot lathe and have the capacity to turn up to but not limited to a
14" X 56-foot flagpole.
We are very excited about this new stage of our business growth. The
possibilities are incredible, as we focus on our business plan of
growth coupled with quality and craftsmanship.
