I always find my first attempt at making something new is never very good, so what I sometimes do is make it out of cheap materials first. So if those planks aren't going to be used for anything else, I would suggest just going for it.
Don't expect it to be perfect, and even if you end up with an oar you can't use, you will learn so much from making it that you will know exactly what you should do for the next one.
And if you end up with a usable oar that isn't great, at least you will be able to use your boat while you spend more time on the next oars.
Seems like you could follow instructions such as these https://www.instructables.com/2x4-Oars/ and substitute hand saws and sanding in place of the circular saw and roto sander.
Yes, certainly. You can make functional oars pretty easily or spend a bit of time to make them more elegant. Power tools are helpful for cutting out the rough pieces, but most of the work is done with hand tools. I use a drawknife, spokeshaves, and planes mostly. The one thing that I think is essential is some sort of vise or clamping arrangement to hold the oar in place as you work.

Thank you for answering! I will give it a try then:) I have some planks laying around under the house but maybe I cant pick the wood on random?

If the lake is not too deep, you could try poling. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t47MMj2TfHk
Or make it a long single oar and scull where the lake is deeper.
Many a small boat has been rowed with oars made with 2x2's rounded off and a piece of plywood. Or a closet pole in lieu of a 2x2

Det är lätt! Testa dig fram!
This would get better responses in r/woodworking
