In Response To: Paddle Shafts (Ben Van Enk)

: I'm trying to decide on what type of paddle shaft to make. I recall seeing a
: hollow birdsmouth design, and a twisted laminated strip type. Any info or
: links to the design of these, and personal preference would be greatly
: appreciated.

: Ben.

I first saw the hollow shaft method in Woodenboat magazine where a company was making hollow spars for sailboats. searching the archive will probably turn up a reference to that article as well. I recall it was about a year ago...
