Oar project

To make my oar I started with a 2×4. I then cut the 2×4 into two pieces, the one I used was 5 and a half feet. I then ripped that piece of wood and used one of the two pieces for the shaft of my ore. The other piece I cut in half and used for the blade of my oar. After that all I did was sand the blade and shaft to get it more oar shaped. I still have a little work left to do and then staining the wood.
