Oars and rub rails

Knocked out some quick cheap oars today.  I just couldn't bring myself to drop the money at the moment on some off the shelf units.  So, off to the lumber place and looking through a pile of 2 x 6's for a couple without knots in critical places.  Roughed out the shape on the bandsaw and then did some judicious resawing the thin down the blade.  About a million ( several thousand ) strokes with the hand plane and I have something that looks like it was made with "stone knives and bearskins".
