Since 1858, Shaw & Tenney has been handcrafting the finest traditional solid wooden oars and paddles for boats throughout the world. We can make any length oar, and we also offer specialty and sculling oars, including St. Lawrence Skiff oars, square loom oars, as well as Adirondack Guide Boat Oars.

As the third-oldest manufacturer of marine products in the United States, we have the knowledge and experience to assist you with all you wooden oar needs. We can custom make oars for virtually any application. Contact us with your needs.

Our traditional canoe and kayak paddles are handcrafted by our craftsmen from the finest available clear woods. You will also find our unique Double Bladed Canoe paddle patterned after L. Francis Herreshoff’s design, our Limited Edition Custom Wood Burned Paddles, Greenland Kayak Paddles, and traditional canoe setting poles.

We offer a wide selection of oarlocks, oar sockets, specialty hardware, and accessories to complement fine boats. Our hand-woven pack baskets and boat creels will delight for generations.

We are pleased to offer masts and spars, as well as wooden flagpoles and yardarms, all made with the same uncompromising quality and attention to detail as our oars and paddles.
