Thanks John,
I did make the 8' oars. I used cypress (plentiful here) and drawings from Pete Culler posted on the web by Jim Michalak. I made the blade elliptical shaped like a wide GP blade rather than flat like. I had to take off the corners of the square inboard loom so the full round oarlock would fit. The full round oarlock is traditional for a Rangeley but the oars are an interpretation of things that looked like they would work. By the way the oars were my first to make and I'm sure not as sweet as a pair from Shaw & Tenney but a lot cheaper.
