It's been fun to look back at our BARBASHELA restoration, and a few things stand out.
1) Boat trailers, with their long frame, tie down points and padded bunks, make great lumber haulers.
2) If you see a nice set of oars for sale, buy them. You never know when you might come across an 1880s skiff that they are a perfect fit for.
3) Measure twice, cut once.

I know it says Eddie English Boat Trailer but today it is Barbashela strong back lumber and train table lumber trailer.
Strongback video
This oar is about the right length, Barbashela has a low freeboard and 4'10" beam.
20 foot by 30 inch wide strongback....well shoot I measured wrong so it is 19' 1" Guess we'll add a bit to one end, probably for the stem.
20 foot bateau strongback and pile o tools.
Ready for frames.
