BUILDINGTHE DOULBE ENDED WOODEN PADDLE




Hi builders,A much forgotten aspect of the boat building the propellant/s,? how hard is it to varnish oars /paddles without leaving a line,now come on boaters more pictures of the oar/paddle building,2nd ? how long did it take you to decide the length of the oar/paddle/s.

  1. Bogs,

    That's a fine spoon blade paddle you've made. I'm curious about the name of the book you had open to the paddle page and the pie in the fridge... There must be story about the pie...

    Nice work,

  2. Hi Kruez Thanks, the spoon's a little thick, but not bad for a first attempt,I copied the book and a paddle I found floating in a canal I had to walk along till I found some rope to lasoo it out [its not as easy as John Wayne made it look,
    The book's called ,well the books down at my parents farm I will get back to you on the title,and the pie is a white chocolate cheese cake I made then took a picture to send to my friend to make her jealous as she was on a diet,sad I know but you got to lighting the day somehow,
