:You can do it on the cheap with a simple block plane and a scroll saw either hand or electric. A bit of sand paper once you have got it to size and shape will allow you to clean it up. The eskimos just used simple knives.
I'm thinking about building a greenland paddle or two before Spring. Sites
: noted in posts earlier this year had great building plans for single piece
: paddles and the recent laminate posts were helpful too (not to mention
: Kent's increadibly beautiful picture).: My question is what tools does one need to make a greenland paddle. I will
: probably carve from a single cedar piece, but would love to know from the
: laminators what they need for tools also.: I'm on a budget, so stocking up on power bandsaws, etc. is not in the cards.
: I am competent (far from expert) with hand tools.: What's on your "need to have" and "nice to have" lists?
: Thanks in advance,
