Saverio Pastor’s Le Forcole welcomes you!
The shop:
Saverio Pastor is the dean of Venetian craftsmen specialised in oars and forcole (piece of carved, hard wood on which the oar is placed while rowing). Among his most loyal customers are the demanding rowing champions who want to improve their performances, along with traditional seamanship lovers, who need equipment to match their boats.
In his workshop, you can smell the pleasant aroma of the woods he uses: walnut, pear, and cherry for the forcole, ramin and beech for the oars. To satisfy the many visitors and curious people who do not own a typical Venetian boat, the workshop proposes forcole as furniture (also in mini tabletop format) and other wooden objects: small and big souvenirs to remember how Venice, the city of water, cannot do without its maritime tradition its boats, the craftsmen who build them, and those who know how to treat them.
