Materials & Construction
Solid Ash Construction
Sawyer's solid ash oar shafts are crafted from a single piece of high-quality northern ash known for its strength, toughness, and natural flex. Ash natually absorbs shock and stays strong under load, giving the shaft a smooth, progressive feel and controlled, efficient strokes on the water. Its straight grain and hardwood properties help balance strength with flex, making ash shafts comfortable to use over long days while standing up to repeated impacts and heavy use.
Marine-Grade Spar Varnish
A premium marine-grade spar varnish finish seals against moisture and UV rays while bringing out the natural wood grain and craftsmanship Sawyer is known for.
