: Anyhow what I really wanted to say is one tool I found really useful for
: shaping
: the paddle was a sureform,kind of a cross between a plane and a rasp.It made
: it easy to make the gradual contour changes(fairing) without gouging .

Bert,

I agree that these are useful tools. For a much finer cut than a Surform, you might like the Microplane replacement blades for the Surform. These are much sharper and more refined than a Surform but are similar in concept. I use their R2 Microplane (flat blade) tool for work on paddles and kayaks. Woodcraft carries them, otherwise their web page is listed below.
