: Hi Chip,
: I have two Greenland paddles that have hollow looms. I didn't do anything
: fancy. I just hollowed out two halves with a round nose bit and glued it
: together. Both paddles are still in one piece and are several years old.
: But after seeing Harvey do the walrus pull at Sstiks I no longer make then
: hollow.
It's not like you'll be forced to do the walrus pull every time you're out. I like an ultralight, hollow, "Beale-style" cedar paddle for everyday touring and rolling.
The solid spruce sticks come out for rough water and rock garden play.
Just built a 3-lb. solid spruce, shouldered, 3.5"x92"x20" GP for walrus pulling, though!! Need to do the "traditional" chinup-by-the-paddle test now.
