Clint Chase in Maine is about to make a batch of oars that are suitable for Storerboats. They are nicely balanced with the right amount of spring.
He needs to do a batch to make it cost effective, so if you are interested in some handcrafted oars contact him to see which sizes he will be making first.
I do have plans for free oars – a 9ft+ set and we were working on an 8ft set with ply composite blades. He is a serious rower and though my designs are OK he wants to fine tune them so they are better balanced and great. That will happen in the next month or so. But the ones that are available now are fine.
Here is a detail view of Clint’s nice oars.
