OAR...Not to Be........... ???

Hi All;

Little Brother is about to splash the "8"-Ball Dingy we built last year and is looking for Oars. He's wanting 7'ers and has found only 6'ers here local. Not much call for them in Central Calif. except maybe Wal-Mart who seems to have everything. Just never the right size!

My Question is: Are there any plans floating around or books with plans in them so that he can build his own. He's trying to keep the whole project under $200 and building his own will do the trick. I've seen some paddle plans and ideas, but not oars...... that I can remember. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.......
