I've never paddled with one, but if it's not terribly difficult, I'd like to try to make one. Thanks. Steve __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Two of my favorite sites for descriptions of how to make a greenland paddle are Gerry David's article at http://seacanoe.org/grnpadle.htm#backward Chuck Holst's article at http://www.magicnet.net/~gstamer/makegreen2.pdf Note: This site requires the Adobe Acrobat reader. If you do not have it on your computer you can download it for free from http://www.adobe.com Both sites have real good drawings included. Mark J.

Another great article --- and my personal favorite because of its simplicity --- is George Ellis' at http://www.guillemot-kayaks.com/Building/GreenlandPaddle.html. Very simple construction, good gouge. Also sells a booklet, sometimes available at paddling shops.

Made the paddle two years ago and have the start of a second one in my shed.
