Leather on my oars is looking a little worn and dry.
What to feed it with?
Sometimes on oars I see rings of leather, maybe 1/2" bigger radius than the oar, used a stop, so the oar can't slip out through the rowlock, if I wanted to do that, start with a strip of leather, wind it round, but how to secure it? Copper nails? Bronze screws?
Pompey Ladies! old 'ores.
