a DIY laminated bent shaft wood canoe paddle

the wood canoe paddle built and written about in the book
This is the paddle I built for the book I wrote about building. It is cedar and poplar, with some purpleheart trim pieces. Lots of water under the bridge since I wrote that first book. Look for a new series of paddle building books this spring. The plan is a release at Canoecopia 23. More pictures throughout the site, as well as the blog and Instagram.
