give away the paddle-- or trade it for varnish

In Response To: what to do with my rock (Don Beale)

Eventually it might become a collector's item, but in the meantime there are plenty of people who don't want to be caught up the creek without a paddle. You can help them out.

Sounds like it might be a durable item, though.

Have you ever used a 3-D tracing router? If you liked the shape of this paddle you could use it as a model and cut many others from lighter wood.

As for those who think you are anal for numbering paddles -- Humpff ! It is not an addiction as long as you have it under control, and numbering things is just one more way of controlling them. (If anyone wants more ideas on how to control things I would be happy to post a list of 27 ways which I found in my book, which I have numbered as #3,247 in my collection. :) )

Hope this helps

PGJ -- and no, I do not think using my middle initial in all my posts is the least bit anal. Thank you :)

The width reach could be the problem with 1 to 1.
