: You could do the whole thing with a belt sander and 60 grit paper.
: Lots of ways to shape a paddle. I like a satin finish
: polyurethane for a finish. Not traditional, but effective.

Well...only if you really really like sanding and don't mind giant piles of sawdust :)

I'd start out with something like 36 grit ( I call it gravel paper, it's kinda what it feels like), then once shaped go to something finer.
