Questions & Answers

Is it possible to use this for boating? It appears that everyone is decorating with it - Is it made of a particular type of wood?

It looks like ash, which is exactly what I was expecting. They're well-made, but they'll need sanding and leather fitting before they're finished. Rowing and the selection and fitting of oars to body and boat size have been covered in depth in the wooden boat mag. I've been rowing for more than forty years and use open oar locks. They'll be ideal for a tender or a tugboat.

I like these a lot. For the rowboat, I'm going to use stain and spar varnish. Should I include the word "leather" and emphasize the tips?

Both would be dependent on how frequently you plan to use the rowboat and how worn out the oar is. Sewn- On leathers are a cheap and easy way to keep your oars from chafing in their oarlocks. Sewn leather can be easily removed for wear and tear repairs. Tacked- On the other hand, leathers may allow moisture to penetrate the wood, making it rot-prone. I don't think the tips of these oars need to be reinforced unless they're going to be used a lot. Mine were used for recreational purposes during the summer months and have held up admirably - Despite the fact that it is only the first year. Wishing you luck!

What is the diameter of the object? Is it possible to purchase oar collars for these boats?

The paddle measures 4 5/8 in width. The grip measures about 1 1/2" in diameter.

The oars are in excellent condition

3/5

I primed and painted it. I couldn't find any oars in the area. I got free shipping on plain oars. I primed the surface and then painted it with enamel paint. This is going to work perfectly.

Make it your own! My son's college colors and logo were painted on this, and small knobs were added to hang his crew medals

I'm overjoyed that I was able to acquire them

5/5

I was sick of rowboat motors and wanted to try something a little more human-powered. I did some research on oars and came across these. They are very nice and ready to finish when they arrive (quickly and carefully packed). 220 was used as a base, red oak was stained, and three coats of spar urethane were applied. This is a fun project to do with the kids.

Trending in Style: We recently bought a lake house and wanted a nautical look, but not one that was "manufactured

5/5

" We bought three 7-footers. foot oars, each with a unique design painted on it. The pieced wood construction was very appealing, and there was no varnish on them, so we could decorate them without having to wait for them to dry. After sanding, it's time to seal. It was a fantastic base for a fun do-it-yourself activity. project on your own.
