Could have used this info many years ago when I was at Shaw & Tenny, oar manufacturers in Maine. I was talking with a woman there about what size spoons to buy and we had quite a discussion. I asked her is it would help for her to see my boat, and she replied in the affirmative. I took her to the parking lot where I had a load of clear northern white cedar. I had just picked it up and was on my way home to Massachusetts. She had a good laugh.
When I was a ten year old, I remember rowing my uncle Babe’s fishing boat.( I was too young by his standards to operate the Johnson kicker) The oar handles were at the height of my eyeballs. Wasn’t until I made my first set of oars that I realized how pleasant rowing can be!
🎉I enjoy your art and your work so very much thank you 🎊 I hope that nothing stops you from your craft. You have a long way to get to point and key point
Very cool. It's nice to have someone familiar with rowing discuss the fundamentals.

Please excuse me, but the fulcrum of the oar is at the oarlock, not at the blade.
Oh my … I now realize how stupid I am. 🤦♂️ Can I measure my boat and get you to tell me what size oar I need?
My take is: "so that's why they invented the engine"🤔🤔
Good God, I know less now that before i saw this. plus for someone with less than 100% color vision, this presentation is very difficult to see.
