Description & Features
The SMOKER Legacy Wood Burned Art Oar is a one-of-a-kind piece of river-inspired art, individually hand-burned on a full-length wood oar. Each composition extends along one side of the blade and shaft, using the natural grain, color, and character of the wood as part of the artwork. No two pieces are exactly alike, giving every Legacy Art Oar its own character and connection to the rivers and landscapes that inspire it.
Created primarily for display, the artwork is given the full length of the oar as its canvas. There is no rope wrap, oar stop, or grip cover to interrupt the design, allowing the hand-burned details and natural wood to remain visible from blade to grip. The opposite side of the blade carries the traditional SMOKER screen-printed logo, connecting each art piece to the heritage of SMOKER wood oars.
Each purchase also helps give back to the places that inspire the artwork, with a contribution supporting fire recovery and river restoration programs. Whether displayed in a home, lodge, river outfitter, office, or gathering space, each oar is an individual piece of art with a direct connection to river culture and conservation.

Original Legacy Art Oars
Each Legacy Art Oar is an original, one-of-a-kind work of art. The artwork is hand-burned directly into the wood, with the grain and character of the individual oar becoming part of the finished piece.
Fish Scape
Fish Scape is an original river-inspired composition that extends across the blade and along the shaft. Hand-burned details work with the natural wood grain to create a single, one-of-a-kind piece.
Mountain Scape
Mountain Scape is an original landscape composition spanning the blade and shaft, inspired by the mountains and wild places surrounding the rivers we explore.
Custom Legacy Art
Custom Legacy Art commissions are available for those looking for an original piece created around a personal idea or inspiration. Work with us to develop a concept based on a favorite river or landscape, a meaningful experience, a commemorative idea, or another subject suited to the oar's unique canvas.
Like the available Legacy Art Oars, each commissioned piece is individually created as an original work. Contact Sawyer to discuss your concept, commission process, and availability.

Each SMOKER Legacy Wood Burned Art Oar is hand-burned by Ian Gannon, an artist and river guide whose connection to rivers and wild landscapes is reflected in his work.
