The oarlock blocks are where the oarlocks will be mounted. All the force of the oars are imparted to the boat right here. They look like a solid block of ash, but in fact are each made from 3 banana-shaped 3/4" thick pieces of ash. They're tough pieces that must be hand fit to the curve of the side of the boat.
Here they are clamped into place between ribs 5 and 6.
