: Hi Dave and all,
: I've been absent for a while, but I'm back.
: I am not sure the bird mouth is the best way to go.
: Why not stack strips of about 8-10mm wide on both sides of a full
: width strip offsetting them to the outside to get the round and
: then reverse the procedure to get back to a full width strip at
: the top to cap both sides.
: You could do it in two halves. Then sand away the steps on the
: outside and inside and you will have a shaft.
: Just a thought. A lot less fiddling.
: Cheers

I wanted to do the birdsmouth because I thought it was cool. After reading Kurts web page, and trying my mother in laws new full carbon paddle I couldn't resist trying to match the weight or better. ( her paddle is 25.5 oz)
