Doug Craner in the UK is the craftsman that runs the Prop Shop.  He hand crafts a veriety of wooden props for the WW1 modeller that is looking for the real deal for his latest WW1 scale masterpiece.  Doug goes to extraordinary lengths to make these propellers as accurate in scale, appearance and colour as possible. The wood he uses has a very tight grain giving a very realistic appearance.

Doug will also make propellers on commission for anyone wanting a special one off propeller

Doug doesn't have a website but you can e-mail him directly.  dougcraner@hotmail.co.uk
