Oars and spars

 Now that the boat is essentially done, on to peripherals. I had some 8' 6" oars that I just had to setup for the oarlocks and finish.

I also picked up the aluminum tubing for mast and spars. I had to make the wooden end plugs by hand as I didn't have a lathe and because of Covid could not just go use a friends. Took a little more time but ultimately got the job done. 

Then on to priming the aluminum with an etching primer and  drilling out for fittings before final finish.
