Oars

Here's a set of oars that I finished last year. They are a set that goes with a stitch and glue drift boat that I have been working on for a couple of years. 

 The tip plates are contrasting, Dark on one side, 

                                                          and light on the other.

. The handles are solid ash and the throats are spruce sandwiched between ash plates.  Rounded out with ash and fir blades and dynel edges. These sticks are stiff, snappy and highly responsive.
