## Description

Despite the growing interest in making paddles and canoes, it is difficult to find reliable information for that craft. For the how-to beginner, a paddle represents the perfect challenge, both finite and functional. For the skilled woodworker, the opportunity to experiment with design and technique to create a tailor-made product that perfectly suits a paddler's needs is a dream come true.

The book is thoroughly illustrated with photographs, line drawings and plans with measurements for: How to make a paddle having a single blade, a bent shaft, or double blades; How to protect a paddle with oil or varnish; What to look for when test-driving a paddle; How to decorate a paddle; How to care for and repair a paddle. The book also covers: Paddle design - grips, shaft, blade, flexibility, weight, balance; Paddle woods and adhesives; Hand tools, power tools and homemade tools, carving and finishing tools; Making the paddle - size, design, mark out, cut and carve; Paddle plans, including Beavertail, Voyageur, Algonquin, Whitewater, Bent-shaft, Double-blade, Child's; Templates for grips, tips and blades; Materials sources. The authors include an appreciation of the evolution of the paddle plus a special chapter by renowned canoe-building teacher David Gidmark, which celebrates paddle-making in the native American tradition.

Review: USING YOUR OWN PADDLE FEELS GREAT !!!! - Gotinterested in canoing through the kids doing it.Many years ago made canoes and kayaks at school found it very interesting when you made and used your own. I was fedup using club equipment wanted a paddle that was personal well balanced the correct size for me. I bought the book spent time deciding on which one to make and made a Voyager that worked verywell. My young son (13) is now making one now to his measurements he didn't realise how easy it is to make if you take your time and work with the wood. The hardest part is deciding which one to make first and finding the correct wood which is part of the fun. I will be making a collection of paddles in the near future due to reading this book and having the satisfaction of using a paddle you have made yourself. I am not very experienced at working with wood just the usual DIY and this book made it so easy. Highly recommended if you want that bit extra out of canoing.
Review: Good for the person learning paddle making - Great for anyone wanting to make paddles. I am a paddle maker, I bought this to see what other people did. Honestly, I didn't learn much from it as if I was going to write a book on paddle I would do it very similar to this one. I am a professional carpenter and joiner and have all the tools. So if you follow this you will do ok. If I had one complaint as a European, It would be helpful to have had the designs in metric as well as imperial. However, it is fun translating them. The measurements are in inches and 1/32. This takes a little getting your head around as it will look something like this: 2 3/32 which is 2" and 3/32.
