: Thanks for the feedback everybody. When laminating, does grain
: direction still matter?

Btw, while you can make a really nice paddle laminated and can be stronger and much prettier that way, it's also much more difficult if you're not used to woodworking. The different woods plane at different rates, it's just much easier the first time to use a solid one piece blank.
