[Paddlewise] Re[2]: Greenland style paddles

     Dave, there are a lot of good articles out there --- John Heath's 
     among them.  And now that Chuck Holst's article is available on the 
     web, I'd start there.  It's one of the best.
     
     Others ---
     
     John Heath's "The Do-It-Yourselfer's Greenland Paddle", Sea Kayaker, 
     Winter '87, referenced in Chuck Holst's work.
     
     An earlier John Heath article, "The Narrow Blade: Theory and 
     Practice", Sea Kayaker, Summer '86 --- and there may be a follow-on to 
     that article by John Heath with some corrections --- but I can't find 
     it.
     
     Alan Anderson's (Betsie Bay Kayaks) "Greenland Paddle Technique", 
     Atlantic Coastal Kayaker, March '93 --- as it sounds: techniques for 
     <using> Greenland paddles, not for crafting them.
     
     Peter Gengler's "Make your own Greenland style storm paddle", Atlantic 
     Coastal Kayaker, March '94.
     
     Getting to these may be easier than it used to be.  ACK has a good 
     website with a lot of info, although I haven't tested it for these 
     articles.  Sea Kayaker may also be accessible on line, too.  If anyone 
     tries these, please let the list know if you have success.
     
     You've got some of the nicest cross-grain spruce in the world at a 
     small lumber yard out near the Juneau Airport, Dave --- wanna go into 
     the business of supplying the PaddleWise list paddle-makers?

All this talk about Greenland style paddles has whetted my desire to 
make one - does anyone have some good sources for instructions, design 
info, etc.  I did see Joq's reference to "the John Hough articles", but 
I don't really know where to begin looking for them.  Any pointers would 
be appreciated.
     
Thanks,
Dave
