We have been selected to manufacture a series of wooden oars for the famous ship chandler brand "À l'abordage" in La Rochelle.
We started with a series of rowing oars, one hundred pieces 3.7 meters long. These pieces are made of glued laminated ash. The blade and the handle are custom-made. These asymmetrical oars are intended for sweeping and sculling. The blades are concave and very responsive. We observed a very nice bending movement in the water.
This kind of mass production would not be possible without the specific production tools: sawing, gluing, and machining machines.
We then built a new series of one hundred stern sculling oars in the 2.5 to 3-meter range. They have symmetrical and fairly long blades. The parts were mass-produced. The various models and shapes are the property of the “À l’abordage” brand. We took the opportunity to create these beautiful scenes!
