Most impressive. Do you have a favorite or find yourself using a particular one more often?
When will "Duane's Manual of Paddle Construction" be published? I'll buy one.
: I've been building paddles for a while now, and when I went over my
: collection of home-built paddles, I was surprised to find how productive
: I've been. It just goes to show what spending a couple hours tinkering in
: the garage can do instead wasting time watching TV. By the way, over the
: years I've probably built over 25 paddles, many of which didn't meet my
: high standards and are hanging on other people's walls as nautical art,
: were sold as is, or were chopped up and thrown away.

: Of course, any paddle collection of mine is always changing. Over time some
: will be added and some taken out.
: Right now I'm building two more Greenland paddles from redwood.
