I wanted a rowing boat in the style that I remember from my childhood in England and eventually decided to build one myself. After a lot of reading and web searching I chose an Iain Oughtred design, the Acorn 15. For a description of the Acorn 15 click here.

Day 10 - Glue Up Blanks for Two Oars

Glued up the first two blanks for oars. It may seem premature to be starting on the oars before the boat is taking shape but this is one of the jobs that can be worked on when there is only an hour or so available. Plus, it's important that the oars are available when the boat goes in the water for the first time. Definitely don't want to be starting to make the oars then!
