Homemade Greenland Paddle

Interested in carving your own Greenland paddle? Check out this website: http://www.carvegp.com

It gives you all of the information (including a video) you need to carve one. Anyone with basic carpentry skills would probably be able to follow it and produce a paddle of decent quality.

Here are some pictures of the paddle I made. I haven't applied a finish yet (Teak Oil was recommended), but have used it 2x. It is fairly well balanced and feels very comfortable, although it is a bit too short I think. I'm very inspired now, though, and will make another one that will hopefully be even better
