: Somebody told : me it won't be long before I have a garage full of paddles.

It is easy to do. I have 4 now I think? Plus a couple of experiments I don't show in public. ;) I enjoy making them because they are a bit of a challenge. Shaping the looms and the transition to blades. I am a bit of perfectionist in that area and just not getting one to look like I really wanted it to.

Funny thing is the first GP I made is really ugly and I can see lots of mistakes in it. It splashes to loudly but it is still my favorite paddle.
