[Paddlewise] paddle cutting

If you look *very* carefully at the pictures of Doug's kayak, just past the
place where he stores the *Humungous* squid hunting knife, you'll notice
that he has installed a mitre saw and a duct-tape dispenser which is
incredibly handy when he needs to quickly cut a paddle in half. The duct
tape keeps the paddle from splintering during the cutting operation, and the
mitre saw not only cuts paddles, it helps to put tasteful 45 degree corners
on the kelp that endlessly entwines his boat. (Sure, all of this adds
another 50 kg to his boat... but the beauty of it all is that the kayak has
enough mass to qualify for a drill rig platform license.)

Does anyone have a recipe for drying mushrooms that doesn't leave them with
the texture of vulcanized rubber when they are rehydrated?
