In Response To: laminate vs. one-piece paddle (Bryan Sarauer)

The laminated paddle will be stronger and more warp and crack resistant. Assembling it from strips no wider than 1/4 inch is a little extreme. I think you could easily go up to an inch wide without problems and use the variation in widths and color to create an interesting pattern. (racing stripes?)
