    I gave up on marking out the sixteen sides years ago and just hit that one by eye on anything smaller than a spar. I got into small batch Greenland paddle manufacturing at one point. From that developed a simple jig for holding paddles during the carving process. Makes all the difference in the world and the concept would be easily adaptable to oar carving. I'll shoot you a set of plans if you're interested Grant.

    My very first wood working project was to build a kayak storm paddle to see if I wanted to jump into building a touring kayak. I used big box store 1x2's laminated them with epoxy and used a thin coat of thinned epoxy for the finish. That was twelve years ago and the paddle (and the boat) are still going strong! I got my tools from ebay and craigs list, restored a block plane in the process and had a ball building.

      My first paddle build was a west Green land paddle made out of a 2x4. It may be ugly as sin but it’s still trucking after all these years.

    • @oliverwoodcraft9733
      @oliverwoodcraft9733  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Oiled grips are a must in my book (varnish can make blisters) the rest oiled or Varnished. Oil doesn’t have UV protection and will not build up to a high gloss but is very easy to maintain. Varnish typically has UV inhibitors but gets brittle over time and can be annoying to keep up. I usually pick the finish according to the intended use ( lakes, rocky shoreline, river).
      Hope that helps.

    • @oliverwoodcraft9733

      Are you planning on using them or just need a project to practice on? I only ask because oars are often scaled to the boat.

    • @oliverwoodcraft9733
      @oliverwoodcraft9733  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Lots of different woods have been used in the past. It often comes down to the intended use and what’s available. I have made them out of ash before with good results. If weight is to be considered use a soft wood for the shaft and a hardwood for the blade edges.

      @@NorthWoodsStrider The appropriate glue is also variable. On average I would suggest an epoxy though some woods do NoT except it as well as others. Tight bond is (in my experience) not a long life glue in that application.

    My high school woodworking shop teacher, who was an awesome guy, would smash your fingers with whatever tool he had in his hand if you didn't place your planes down on their sides. Blade down, you were going to get hit with something.
    Great oars btw.

    • @oliverwoodcraft9733
      @oliverwoodcraft9733  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for checking out the videos. I was taught the same way with the planes but then got into more hand tool work and changed my program. It’s just too easy to knock them out of tune if they get set down too hard on the side.

    • @oliverwoodcraft9733
      @oliverwoodcraft9733  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      This was Alaskan yellow cedar and I glued it with epoxy. The dimensions were custom to the boat. Typical rule of thumb for length is 2x the beam of the boat but that doesn’t always work. Hope this helps.
