Re paddle plans...
 

Poverty Bob:
I'll gladly send along a free set of instructions and plans for a nice
spruce shaft, ply blade paddle we use - as soon as I can find a copy on our
backup CDs - HD went west, and I haven't restored the saved data yet - drop
an e-mail if you want 'em.
Regards,

Has anyone ever made their own paddle? I am looking for some plans and
material recommendations. All I can find is plans for Greenland style
paddles and that's not what I want right now. I would like a light wood
paddle and prefer to have my paddles blades offset. Has one had any
luck making a good useable paddle?
