- Making oars.
See how our boatbuilder Peter makes a pair of oars, in our local tradition. They’re made of pine, treated with 50/50 wooden tar and raw linseed oil, and taken for a spin on the beautiful Hardangerfjord.

Sjå korleis Peter lagar eit par vestlandsårer. Materialet er furu, smurningen er 50/50 tjære og rå linolje, og roturen er på Hardangerfjorden.
Good job 👏...I'm carpenter, sometimes I make paddle... It's just hard. That's the cultural heritage...Save that. ❤
I can see 100s of years of development in these oars. Functionally and aesthetically wonderful.
Inspirational! I’m just starting to glue up my first pair of oars, I’m going to replicate this profile as best as I’m able to! 👏🏻
I’m so excited I saw this before I did much shaping! ❤️
Wow, that fills your soul just watching.
that's a lovely comment, thank you!
You aren’t kidding. There’s something that just sets you free when you feel that boat slide onto the water and you know from there on out, things are right as they should be.
Lovely ... comment , in thanks giving for the art the Good Lord allows us to create 🙏🏼
That was great. Amazing craftsmanship. Thank you.
Awesome! 👏👏👏
Great job they look fantastic, I love the unnecessary embellishment carved into the handles, very classy, they must be valuable if you need to protect them with an Anti Aircraft gun whilst the finish dries.
that put a smile on my face....thank you
Am I the only one who finds this cool and satisfying?
No your not
Such craftsmanship!
Beautiful work, both as a verb and a noun! But it was an odd juxtaposition: the modern bandsaw, followed by a wood-bodied plane, then he used a hatchet rather than a ripsaw on the grips.
Clay Commons but the hatchet looked extremely efficient and little noise, so why not? That bandsaw was very efficient so worth the noise.
Thanks for the nice feedback! Yes, it might look a bit strange - for someone who is really skilled with hand tools like an axe, it's sometimes the most rational and efficient option.
Kjempeflink bruk av øksen!
Awesome work!!
I love the little carvy bits on the shaft top at the handle... unique little signature. What are you finishing the oars with? Is it "Boat Soup" (Boiled Linseed Oil and Pine Tar) ... or something a bit more standard store bought...
Hullo Phil...! Description says: 50/50 Wooden Tar & Raw Linseed Oil.
Raw Linseed Oil penetrates well and fill the open cells...Expands when drying...!
Where is this magical place?
Can I work here? Just finishing boat building and a 21ft lapstrake sloop
Хорошие вёсла.
Great work 🛶
GAAH! That holding the oar unsupported while chopping at the pieces to shape the handle!! That made me so nervous to watch, not that he’d cut himself, but one wrong hack and the handle’s toast!😳😳😳
I don’t care how good the hatchet handler is.🤨
Is that Tung oil or boiled linseed oil he applies? It isn’t epoxy, and with just the one coat without sanding, that doesn’t seem like it’s varnish.🤔
Beautiful
Where could one find measurements for such a beauty.
does anyone know where I can find the design detail for the rope oarlock? what boat is that?
The "oarloack" is a typical variation of "thole pins" which have been traditionally used to secure oars in vessels dating back to (and before) the Vikings. if you look at the video, the block set up has a riser against which the oar is pulled, and a rope which holds the oar (loosely) against the riser which is a good 3 - 5 inches off the gunwale of the 2 man dory (maybe 20'? / which also appears to have been made by classic methods). There are several examples of "thole pins" and "bound oars" on the internet, and they're a great (in my mind superior) alternative to the common saddle and lock sets you get at marinas and boat stores.
is the type of wood he uses mentioned ?
i see it , so theyre pine and that hold up to the force of rowing
Unless you want blisters never varnish your oar handles.
