: To answer your question... I've made a paddle using nothing but a
: small Stanley plane and another paddle using a larger Buck plane
: (Lowes and HD). It takes a while but if its what you got, then
: go with it. I've also used a Dremel with the sanding bit for
: final shaping. Spoke shaves are fun to use too.
: To ask my own question...
: This time I was going to use my router and use it as a planer. This
: would be to rough in the shape and use my planes to finish the
: shaping. Can any one tell me why this would be a bad idea?

There is a web site around somewhere showing a settup to carve GP's using a router, the set up looked a bit long, but looked like you could carve a basic blank in no time at all. Sorry I didn't save that site.

Might do a web search for router and greenland paddle and see if it shows up.
