I've also heard that you shouldn't varnish a wood paddle if you paddle bare handed. The hard finish of a varnish can cause your hands to develop blisters. I would follow Chuck's advice oil it down and finish it with steel wool. My paddles were mainly practice paddles to see if I could make them. They turned out so well that they have replaced my other 2 paddles and now carry one of the breakdown paddles only as a spare. They were much easier than I thought to make so I'm now looking for that "perfect" 2x4 to make a 3rd paddle. 8^) Woody *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Fri Feb 26 1999 - 17:06:27 PST
