I think you oughta swing on by, Jim. We can butcher those logs in the band saw, plane them down to whatever thickness you might like, and resaw them into strip. I'll take a few scraps. 6" x 5' is perfect for my bandsaw. Trade you some oak, or maple?

: Hey Don,

: I have a couple small ash logs that we could cut some strips out of. I was
: planning on using them to make paddels any way. Maybe you could help me
: get started in making Greenland style paddles, then I could use some of
: that ash too. The logs will be easy to handle since they are only about 5
: feet long and maybe 6" across. Let me know what you think.
