Storm Paddle

Hi All,

Just thought I would post a pic of the storm paddle I just finished. The paddle has a pine loom and the accent strips are pine and paduk. The rest is redwood and cedar with an ash strip steam bent around the blade edge. The paddle is 70" long has a 6" loom and the blades are 3-5/8"wide x 32" long. I got most of the info from Chuck Holst's article on making a West Greenland Paddle.
