Dinghy Rowing Oars,kit sets


Our inspiration,the old style shape is good



We have just supplied an Argie 10 kit to a customer who will build it as a project with his son over the holidays,he took the sail and wants oars too,we have not made them as a kit yet but I have just made the four blanks up that we will use,the choice of wood is American Poplar,or Cotton Wood as its also named.Poplar is quite light but strong,it will be up the job just fine,we will supply the oars as four CNC shaped blanks,they will then need laminating as pairs,we will supply the wood,epoxy and glass tapes to protect the edges of the blades.The pictures show the basic design shape I have used.

Please note credits to those who took the pictures.
