[QUOTE="seahorse, post: 516341, member: 35919"] I want a long pair of oars for my 12ft boat, something to use in small, no motor allowed ponds here. I have a few mismatched sets but I've got a few nice slabs of air dried spruce here that are just the right size to carve out a pair of oars, but spruce is very light, where as the few pair I've got here are quite heavy, either ash or white oak maybe? One pair looks like it may be cedar or redwood. I'd basically just copy the profile of the one longer one I've got here that works best. Second question is what to finish them with? Spar Var or epoxy? I'll likely glass over the very ends to protect the wood too. [/QUOTE]
