Last week I paddled with a group on the Ogeechee and one of the paddlers had a handcrafted paddle with a cherry blade. After a few questions and a good lookover of the paddle the seed was set. I just happened to have a few scraps of flooring that a friend had given me just waiting on a project. I wanted to try a straght shaft with a beavertail shape. I have a Carlisle paddle that looks pretty close to what I want so I am using that for a pattern.
