The oars are 8'6, sitka spruce, the wraps start about 24 inches from the end of the handle. I made them about 22 inches long and put the button about 29 inches from the end of the handle. Seems to work well, but will have to wait until we hit the river. Used carpet tape to hold the wrap which seem to work. Added some epoxy to the ends to keep them from moving.
