Oar leather.

Best oar leather i have found. I used heavy waxed white whipping twine to sow them on. Worked fine with the needles provided. Still going strong.

good stuff but weird color

This kit has all the things you need to make rugged leathers for your oars. The leather is thick and tough, but it is a burgundy/cordovan color, not really like that in the illustration.

Hi David: Thanks for the note / rating. We've just updated the image to reflect the color. Granted, with hides, they can vary, but the leathers are more cordovan than straight brown.
