Making Your Own Paddle
The North Woods Paddle,
by Rick Waters Rick details how Alexandra Conover makes a North Woods
paddle and talks a bit about how this wonderful blade is used. A forwarded
is provided by Garrett Conover. This is a reprint from a 1985 WoodenBoat
article. Lots of photos.
Paddle Making, by
Shawn Burke Shawn explains in great detail and clarity, with both
words and images, a seminar from New Hampshire canoe builder Geoffrey
Burke on carving a paddle, held at the 1992 L.L.Bean North American Canoe
Symposium (now the Maine Canoe Symposium).
Making a Canoe Paddle,
by Rob Stevens Rob does a fine job explaining how to turn a piece of
wood into a instrument to move your favorite watercraft. Rob discusses
woods and their properties, as well as the tools you will need to fashion
your paddle.
Greenland Style Paddle Building,
by George Ellis George discusses how to make a Greenland Style double
bladed paddle using the very minimum of tools. This is a very easy to
follow discourse on the subject, and has inspired me to make my very own
Greenland Style Paddle.
Doug VanDoren has produced a video on the use of
Greenland style paddles. It's well done and sticks to the subject, mainly
the forward stroke. It's available from:
