Don,

I´ve read and re-read Chip´s and your description of the strip-built paddle building process, but cannot make sense of how to do this. Quite embarassing really...

I´ve got plenty of non-b&c strips left over from my deck, and would love to build a matching GP paddle. (Bookmatched deck and paddle, anyone ?)

Would you be so kind to send me a copy your AutoCad file, so the picture in my head becomes clearer ?

Thanks, Pascal

PS: Ready to glass the deck of my first kayak now, oboy oboy don´t mess this one up....
