The Sawyer Legacy Collection

The Sawyer Legacy Collection celebrates over half a century of craftsmanship, artistry, and river heritage. Since 1967, Sawyer Paddles & Oars has been recognized for skillfully crafting wooden oars that seamlessly blend performance and beauty. This collection carries that legacy forward—featuring one-of-a-kind, hand-burned artwork by artist and river guide Ian Gannon. Each piece is a collectible expression of river life, designed to honor wild places and those who protect them.

Legacy with Purpose

  • Collector-quality wood oars and blades crafted with Sawyer’s renowned heritage and attention to detail.
  • Each piece showcases original wood-burned artwork by Ian Gannon—no two are alike.
  • Created to celebrate the spirit of rivers, renewal, and craftsmanship.
  • Proceeds support fire recovery and restoration in communities across the West.
  • Handcrafted to be displayed, admired, and passed down as lasting works of art.

About the Artist

Ian Gannon is a multidisciplinary artist from the mountains of Colorado whose passion for visual art began early and evolved into a lifelong pursuit. From psychedelic acrylic paintings to wildlife depictions burned into wood, his work highlights the interconnectedness of all life. Born into a family of outdoor enthusiasts, rivers have shaped his life since childhood. Today, Ian shares his love for wild places as a river guide in Southern Oregon and Northern California, where his art and river life flow together.

Craftsmanship Meets Artistry

Each Legacy Collection piece begins with Sawyer’s time-honored woodcraft—built from select hardwoods for strength and beauty. Ian’s intricate wood-burned details elevate these blades and oars into one-of-a-kind collector’s pieces, merging the elements of wood, fire, and water into timeless expressions of river life.

Give Back to the River

Every purchase supports fire recovery and river restoration programs, helping restore the landscapes and waters that inspire this art. When you bring home a Legacy blade or oar, you’re not just collecting a piece of history—you’re helping protect the rivers that connect us all.
