Oar Plans

With these plans you can make a pair of lightweight, elegant, efficient spoon or straight blade oars from common lumberyard stock.  They feature ellipsoid rather than conventional round looms (the loom is the shaft of the oar).  This makes them both lighter and easier to make, while still allowing them to be used in conventional oarlocks.  The plans include two sheets of drawings, with full size patterns for the blades, and detailed instructions.
