It took a bit of fairing and primer to get them decent looking but it will be an agricultural finish compared to the scull oar.

Ants

That's a nifty looking workspace, love what you've done to the place. The oars are beautiful, as are all the small wooden boats I see here. Thank you for the eye candy.

Interesting Ants. The numbers are pretty close for such different looking boats. I would add that my RoG has 70 pounds of lead in the bottom of the centerboard.

[Tchoupitoulas]

The oars came out pretty good.

[Tchoupitoulas]

The boomkin received some longer legs which will slide into sockets on the stern.



It's in backwards of course.

Someone could get into a nice little Raid boat for $1k. Launch it from the beach in Inverness? Watch the 110s? Dry out in the mudflats? Not sure about camping aboard.

I wasn't crazy about JF's stainless bow roller and block.
