Round paddle shafts?

Anybody have a good way to round off a paddle shaft? The best I've come up with is a pair of praces to hold it up and let it rotate so you can clamp it in any position, and then plane and sand. I hand sand with a broken belt wrapped around the shaft. Aside from a big lathe, any better ideas?
