.....Oarmaking Plan

An 11 x 17" page illustrating the layout of our 8' modified spoon oars. These are flat-bladed oars, not hollowed out, with a curve in the last 6" of the blade. A pair can be gotten out of a single 2 x 8. Far more efficient than straight blades, and not at all difficult to make. The photo shows the easy way to shape the inside of the oar blade.

Full Size Oar Plans (This is actually a lofting.)

This is a single page depicting 7', 8', 9', and even 10' modified spoon oars. Here's the answer for anyone the least bit skeptical about scaling up oar dimensions from a plan, because it shows details of the swept blade, the elliptical loom, the all-important handle, and even the windings, all full size. And in the case of the 10-footers, it even details laminating the looms.

Lap Clamp Plan

Full size drawings detailing our standard 7" reach lap clamp as well as the smaller version we use when we build lapstrake canoes. These clamps are self-contained and straightforward to make. The smaller canoe lap clamps are shown here in use on a glued lap Duck Trap Wherry.

And this is our standard 7" lap clamp. (The dimension refers to the reach.) The canoe lap clamps shown above have a 4" reach.
