The type of wood selected for the sculling oars is chosen for both its quality and its appearance. Our Competition oars are made from Engleman Spruce with Australian Ironbark along the back of the loom. The oar loom consists of three bonded pieces; a single plank is split to make "book ended" sides, and another piece is cut for the center. This superior design prevents twisting or warping as the wood expands and contracts. The center and side pieces of the oars are milled to form a bi-tubular loom, thus reducing the weight of the sculls while maintaining their stiffness. The darker Australian Ironbark is an extremely dense wood that provides extra stiffness along the back of the loom.

Due to the unavailability of the wood and artisans, our current stock will be the last wood oars produced by us.
