In Response To: Paddle: Greenland Paddle *PIC* (Etienne Muller)

I also used Brians book to make my paddle from a cypress 2x4,I left it raw wood with no finish, it weighs in at 1lb 9oz when it's wet it feels like velvet to the hands it has been used for about 5 yrs. with no notice of cracking or warping. The reason for no finish is I read somewhere that the Inuit had no paint or other finishing material for their paddles,I kept the tips quite thin so it shouldnot be used to push off with.The only negative is it does stain at the tips from mud but cosmetics was not my concern.Great book! Great paddle! Nick R.
