Paddle: Greenland Paddle from 1' X 4"

About a year ago, I built a West Greenland paddle from a single 8 ft. cedar 1" x 4". The paddle is laminated in the 1" dimension using the 4 waste pieces from cutting the paddle shape from the 1" x 4" to allow a 1 1/4" x 1 1/2" loom tapering off toward the blade tips. The economy of material usage appealed to my Yankee heritage then and appeals to me now. The on-line instructions I followed were very easy and the resulting paddle was very successful.

Now that I would like to build another one, I can't find the on-line instructions. Is anyone aware of the designer or the on-line address to be able to give me a pointer?

Thanks.
