I broke my two-piece wooden paddle a few weeks ago. I broke right in the
middle where the two halves connect. I'm trying to find a source for
fibreglass or carbon-fiber paddle shafts (ie: no blades). I'm thinking that
I could turn the existing shafts down on a lathe and insert/epoxy them into
the shaft blank. Any idea where I could buy a two-piece (preferred) or one
piece blank.

Thanks. :-)

A Lendal dealer should be able to get you a shaft on its own.
www.lendal.com has lots of techy info on their paddles, including
the different shaft types you can get.
