[QUOTE="Stand Up, post: 516345, member: 31842"] This is a good thread to start. All about paddles. So, what are oars made of? Never thought of it before you asked the question. This is from riversimulator.org Wood oars are made from [B]softwoods (pines, fir & spruces) and hardwoods (ash, oak & basswood)[/B]. Generally softwoods are fast growing, and in comparison hardwoods like oak and ash grow very slowly. The softwoods and basswood are light but lack the strength and flexibility of ash. Please post pictures of your progress if you are going to make a pair of oars. [/QUOTE]
