These Copper Burrs pair well with our smooth shank, copper common nails. Commonly used in lapstrake boatbuilding, these burrs will fit over a copper nail and then the tip of the nail is blunted over to create a copper rivet.
The gauge number on the burr is meant to correspond to the size nail that it is meant to be used with. However, many customers prefer either a tighter or looser fit, so in-between sizing is available and can be chosen with the drop-down box above. The handy measurement guide below will help determine which size burr you require. You can cross-reference it with the similar guide on the copper nail page.
| Burr Size | Inner Diameter (ID) | Outer Diameter (OD) |
| #6 | 0.205" | 0.470" |
| #8 | 0.165" | 0.470" |
| #9 | 0.145" | 0.438" |
| #10 | 0.135" | 0.378" |
| #12 | 0.124" | 0.361" |
| #13 | 0.105" | 0.333" |
| #14 | 0.090" | 0.314" |

It would be helpful if burr/nail sizing were described in more detail. Although it is stated that burr # is intended to be compatible with copper nail #, and dimensions of I.D and respective O.D. of the nail are stated in detail, it is difficult to judge the performance of fit in practice. I feel that sample product pairs of nail/burr should be made available such that the first time user can make a judgement of fit, and order according to full quantities as required.

Great company and products!
Rudder cheeks now solid. Confidence in steering restored. Thank you!
I'm a retired boat builder/ship carpenter. I'm not doing production work but I still make and repair boats. This is a fantastic resource. I find and get what I'm looking for delivered right away. If I could give. 7 stars I would.
I have not used them yet. I ordered the wrong length on the nails, i need 3 1/2" not 3".
For my project I need to secure 3 pieces of wood together. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Copper Burrs
I do some work on wooden boats - bronze and copper fastenings are often required. They are not cheap, nor should they be. But when I saw Fair Winds prices for SB wood screws and tried them out, I switched suppliers immediately. I've seen no difference in quality from fasteners for which I had been paying 1 1/2 to 2 times the price to the competition. A no-brainer. (Service is quick, too.)
Great burrs, tight fit on the nails.
I’m totally new to copper rivets. I got the #12 nails and #14 burrs. Seemed like it would be too tight but it worked. I haven’t tried it on my project yet, but I’m sure it will work as intended.
Dear Fair Wind Fasteners, I’m completely satisfied with my purchase of the copper burrs. I use them in my hockey skate repair work. They are top quality and sized accurately. Shipping was prompt. Thank you, you get a big thumbs up from me! Harry Lawler. Lewiston, NY

Thanks for the discount, great service.
Great customer service! Rob was able to quickly answer my questions and the order arrived as expected. Highly recommended for hard-to-find fasteners.
Rob was very pleasant to deal with on the phone. I had to exchange an order I had made for a different one and there was no problem or question. I was very satisfied with the service, which was quick and efficient. I recommend doing business with Fair Wind.
Excellent set!!
I would recommend ordering from them whenever you can. Not only are they fantastic to work with but they had what i needed AND sent me a packet of "future wooden boat" seeds .... its really how i wish every company was.
Right product delivered quickly
Very helpful getting the right sized burrs for my boatbuilding project. Couldn’t have been more helpful
