What makes our wood screws the best?
Full Body: Our bronze wood screws have a shank diameter that is the same size as the outside of the threads. That means your clearance hole will be completely filled, creating a waterproof seal. Full bodied screws are made from a larger wire stock than screws that aren't full bodied, meaning they are stronger when they hold and stronger when you are driving them in.
Cut Threads: The threads are cut, not rolled. Rolled threads have a reduced shank size, and but ours have a full sized shank and sharper threads. Most other companies produce rolled thread screws and you'll find they twist and break when driving them in, and can leave a compromised fastener in your project without even knowing it.
Cold Pressed Heads: The heads on these screws are cold formed, which hardens them through a process called "work hardening". Experience less stripped screw heads with our cold pressed heads.
Guaranteed 651 Silicon Bronze Alloy: We guarantee that you'll get the correct alloy when you order through us. 651 Silicon Bronze is the ideal alloy for bronze screws in your traditional boat building project, therefore it's the only alloy we will supply our wood screws in. The others may be cheaper, but they're likely not the silicon bronze alloy they claim to be.
Traditional boatbuilders know that there is a glut of imposter alloys and bargain bronze wood screws out there on the market, but Fair Wind Fasteners only supplies Silicon Bronze wood screws of the highest marine grade.

It was a pleasure ordering fasteners from Fair Wind--quick and easy. They are a crucial aspect of the catboat rebuild I'm working on.
No matter how small the order you can expect the outstanding customer service and the superior product quality Fair Wind Fasteners is known for.
The screws were purchased for a nautical themed furniture project. They are gorgeous on their own but they will add significantly to the look and feel of the piece. I love the logo stickers you included. Now I want to build a boat!
Very happy to find these screws. I purchased an antique front door that has all bronze hardware on it. So thankful that someone still makes quality products like this. I will be recommending your store! Thank you!
Good purchase all the way around. Great product as well.
I love your products. The website is super easy to use.

What I like about this order and other orders I've placed with Fair Wind is: seeks to understand the application in order to confirm right product for the job, fast and respectful customer service, superior quality product, timely delivery, fair price. What's not to like?
Great fasteners!!
Wide selection delivered promptly.
Ordered these to replace the screws on the ports of a Cape Dory 36. They look just like the originals and work the same.
Very pleased, my new go-to for fasteners.

Excellent screws and service as always
Prices are going through the roof. Bought these before last year fora reasonable price. The cost of finishing a project just means it will take a little longer to accomplish. Always a great product just have to look past the sticker shock
Extremely nice quality and blended well with other old/vintage screws.
I have been trying to find a wood screw with very specific dimensions. Thankfully you had it in stock. Thank you
They ship quickly and the website is easy to navigate. The only place to find what we need.
The Screws that I purchased were of excellent quality. If/when the need arises I shall order from Fair Wind Fasteners again without second thoughts! THANKS
My husband is very happy with your product -
“good stuff.”

Fast shipping, quality product. My third or fourth order with Fair Winds, no issues on any of them.
The fasteners are the best you can buy. Always the best quality and always great service from Fair Wind! Thank you!
Could actually talk to a live person. Rapid service, good product.
The finish overhead of the deckhouse of our 30 sailboat is fastened with large oval head screws. Some crews were missing when we got the boat. The screws are finished flush in the mahogany beams with all the slots lined. Nothing else would do, they look great.
