Oar Making with Van Fancy

Van Fancy making oars in his shop in Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia using specialized tools and techniques. *** A National Historic Landmark and working museum, Lowell’s is dedicated to preserving and perpetuating the art and craft of wooden boat building. In our boatbuilding and shop update videos, we're hoping to take you inside our living museum where we build new boats for clients, restore boats for other museums, and provide a space for events and on-the-water programs for all ages. Our museum is open for guided and self-guided tours. Visit http://lowellsboatshop.com/ to see how you can become a member, attend a program, or get involved in boatbuilding workshops.
