: I've been pondering using the same technique to build a euro kayak
: paddle but have concerns about getting blade angles appropriate
: since most euro paddles have some curve from blade tip back to
: the shaft. My thought was to starve an octagonal plug for the
: end of the shaft that would go about 6" into the birds
: mouth and then be carved to a shape similar to what Is typical
: on a euro.

: Please take pics and let us know how you deal with the blade
: attachment.

Hi bob I will take pics, and I think I have an idea on how to get a nice curve built into the blade while using the birdsmouth without using a plug and glue technique. We will see.
