While work was slow I started making Greenland kayak paddles. I decided to put a couple on the webpage and see if anyone bites. Fun to make!

Nice. Love the artwork too.

Yeah, that artwork is awesome. Do you burn it in?

Thanks! Yeah I burn it in with a hand held woodburner.

Excellent work. I haven't had a kayak for about 26 years. Makes me want to get another one... because I really need more stuff to try to jam into the garage.

Those are beautiful! Did you use wood from your neighborhood?

No, just western red cedar from the lumber yard. Be cool to make some from local wood though!

Lovely work!

I knew a guy who made bent shaft canoe paddles from
Scavenged wood. Pallets and removal/pruning logs kept
Him supplied

Thanks! I'll be scavenging what I can from tree work for sure!
