Dave,
That's looking very nice. Can't wait to hear how it paddles....

I've made some progress on my version as well. My version uses a 24" cedar plug in each end of the shaft. It also has a 1/2" thick strip on the outside of the shaft ends so I can use Duane S's blade design.

Ive attached an in process pic....
