Well I finally decided to take a serious look at building a Greenland paddle and stopped off at my local Home Depot. The only cedar they have is tongue-and-groove for paneling a wall. I suppose I could laminate it..... Anyway, this pretty much means I will have to drive to the Puget Sound area to find appropriate blanks and as long as I'm doing that I suppose I might as well take the kayak and go to Anacortes to the shop that sells lumber there. Which brings me to the next point: just where the hell is this shop anyway? Anyone know? Trying to find it on the Internet leads me to all sorts of bizarre (trust me) places.

Home Depot is not a decent lumber source. There are four different independent lumber outfits out here in this small population Oregon county, and they all have CVG western red cedar. I suspect that is a regional preference, though, Craig, because we use the stuff to restore old houses. In Anacortes, I bet you want these guys: Flounder Bay Boat Lumber, 3rd & O Sts, 98221 360/293 2369 -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

We have three big box stores that sell lumber (Home Depot, Lowes, 84) and none of them carried cedar planks. I went to a local lumber/hardware store and they had lot of it, in lengths up to 20'. I really didn't expect to find it here because we're so far east. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
