Making your own oars and mast for a viking boat. #8 of newbie builds viking boat

I found a mast in the woods! And make oars out of planks.

my axe is basically this one only with a wooden handle and better steel: amzn.to/3plGPpF
The mast is relatively low for a 20 foot boat. It is really only about 14 foot I guess. That is pretty logical when you realise it will hold a square sail.
The oars were 320 centimeters each when I made them, but I have since shortened them to 310. The longer length translates to a "higher gear" which makes sense when you are rowing with two or three people. I however always row alone, plus the boat is heavy with a full load and the water ballast. I wanted to "downshift" and so shortened the oars. The oars are not laminated but just made from one length of wood each. This gives them a bit more flex than I thought. If I would make them again I would buy one plank, saw it down the middle and laminate it together to get opposing grain direction and more stiffness.
I have rowed in it fully loaded twice for one hour now, against the wind, and it is a serious workout to go 5 km an hour. However, I am thrilled that it really works and gives me the confidence that it could be an expedition boat for me and my wife in more remote situations where we can't load the battery.
I use a 2:1 epoxy system much like this one: amzn.to/3Rqg65q
my chainsaw is like this one but corded: amzn.to/3FqZe9J
