About the Project
Crafted by Derek Ford in 2023, this custom boat dock in Shreveport, Louisiana blends functionality with the natural beauty of Eastern Red Cedar. Built using a combination of ½-inch and ¾-inch Tongue & Groove panels, the dock features a precision-fit surface that delivers both strength and visual appeal.
Set against the lakeshore, the structure serves as a practical, durable launch point for boating while enhancing the property’s natural surroundings. Its clean lines and handcrafted cedar finish reflect exceptional woodcraft—adding long-term value and charm to this waterfront retreat.
Designed for both performance and aesthetics, this dock proves that outdoor utility can still be rooted in elegance and attention to detail.
