New Oars

The oars given to me last fall worked all right but they were the wrong size and were different weights. My first project was to build a new set. It is not an easy task when the selection of wood up here is so expensive and substandard. Basically the process is to laminate 3 one by six planks together then cut and shape them.

Here they are glued together.

Here they are cut out.

And finished product

Ready for some dry land rowing.
