In this video I narrate the process, from sawmill to finished product, of making 9' 8" oars using a basic table saw (no lathe). I am not a carpenter, and much of this I made up as I went along, but maybe it can help give some ideas.
Also watch the follow up video ("Oars in a Canoe") that explains some useful adjustments.
