American Rope & Tar

Genuine Stockholm Tar, "The Real Stuff"

Using a process that is centuries old, pine stumps and roots are burned very slowly in special kilns. A resin-rich liquor flows out of the bottom of the kiln and is caught and barreled. This is authentic Stockholm tar.

Stockholm tar has been valued for hundreds of years as a preservative for word and natural fiber rope. It is the smell of the square-rigged ship. It is used today in ships, small and large, that sail for a living.

Traditional sailors describe this rare grade of tar in words usually reserved for fine wines and tobaccos.

Genuine kiln burnt pine tar. Available in pints, quarts, 1 gallon and 5 gallons.
