I got them from: http://www.barkleysoundoar.com/Product.htm#products They are the same wraps that the "Tyee fishermen" use out of Campbell River BC. The Tyee guys can only use oars - no power (except to go to and from the grounds) so they get a pretty good test. I used an Idaho product to treat them. Obenauf's Heavy Duty Leather Preservative (developed by a wildland firefighter to preserve leather used during firefighting.

leather oar stops and wraps? I was wondering where you purchased them? My oars are ready for an upgrade on their wraps and stops!

No rapids but good fishing - the boat passes another test - it catches fish as you can see from the nice brown in the next picture.
