In Response To: OAR...Not to Be........... ??? (Rehd)

Woodenboat Magazine (WWW.Woodenboat.com) has an on-line index with a search engine. If I am using it correctly it tells me that issue # 71 has an article by John Burke about making Pete Culler style oars, plans and all. I made a pair of these from this article (I think it is this one) and they work great. Issue # 127 also has an oar building article by Eric Dow. Your local library might have the magazines. It is cheaper than buying plans.

: 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.......
