: Where can one purchase the little button spring that is used in two piece
: paddles to hold them together?

Hey Lennie,

I don't know for sure if your looking for just the button or the entire furrel. CLC sells the complete furrel in the "paddles" section of their site if thats what you're looking for. they are $16, 1 1/8" ID, three position for 75* feathering or straight, stainless steel.

If its just the button, thats not much help. However, I don't remember who but someone on this board made these parts using the spring and the push button from an ink pen. Good Luck.

Happy Paddling.

Charles.
