Our Classic Crew Sculling Oar is a true reproduction of the wooden sweeps used to race "4's" and "8's" both collegiately and in the Olympics. Today, those competitors have converted to carbon fiber as the material of choice. This particular oar is painted in the Princeton colors and was made for our customer Just Prep. We also make these oars for Cornish Pilot Gigs.

Our crew is always awesome and sometimes they even outdo themselves!
Once in a while someone will try and set a new record for the number of items dipped. When including miniature paddles and canoes it can be quite a few. Myles and Andrews record of 180 items set on August 14th, 2008 has stood until recently. These milestones are recorded on the walls of the dip room (along with many other things!)
Congratulations to Sam and Will! On February 15th, 2012 they outdid the old record...

Custom Projects, Special Event
 We make custom engraved paddles for many occasions, but this time we made 44 of these 42" cherry Penobscot paddles for cast members of the upcoming movie "The Wedding".
We laser engraved the title of the movie and its logo as well as the lead cast members names. The lead cast members then signed the paddles and were presented by the director to all the members of the cast. The movie is due out next year.

Custom Projects
 We have always made miniature or "pasta" paddles in 18" and 24" sizes which folks use for everything from engraved awards to cooking. Many customers have asked to make miniature oars over the years and we finally came up with a neat design. We are now making 24" miniature wide blade spoon oars in spruce. These are authentic replicas of our oars with an antique reverse taper grip (the way we made them in the 1800's!)
