Macon Oars

Macons are old wooden oars which are first stripped back to bare wood and repaired as needed. They are then repainted and varnished to a high standard using oil based paints and varnish.

When they are ready for sign writing, this is done using traditional sign writing skills and methods, incorporating high quality materials including gold leaf.

The length of the oar loom may also be cut in half and fitted with a traditional hand crafted dowel mechanism. This makes the transport and storage of a full length oar easier.

Oars can be purchased in any number; from single blades to full sets.
