In Response To: Material: Wood for Paddle Shafts (Rick Sylvia)

: I've searched for Sitka Spruce in S.E. Virginia - my home area (Nick's book
: suggests it for paddle shafts)- and have come up empty handed. I have good
: access to Cypress. Has anyone used that with success for paddle shafts?
: How about other wood choices.

: Rick

I can tell you where some is, but you may not want to go there, EXPENSIVE! This stuff makes aircraft wing spars and clear is much in demand, thus the price.

On the menu choose wood then spruce. They do have a bargain bag.
