Despite the growing interest in making paddles and canoes, it is
difficult to find reliable information for that craft. For the
how-to beginner, a paddle represents the perfect challenge, both
finite and functional. For the skilled woodworker, the opportunity
to experiment with design and technique to create a tailor-made
product that perfectly suits a paddler's needs is a dream come
true. In Canoe Paddles: A Complete Guide to Making Your Own,
longtime canoeist and woodworker Graham Warren provides detailed
information and guidance to make a canoe paddle that will be used
with confidence and cherished for generations. The book is
thoroughly illustrated with photographs, line drawings and plans
with measurements for: How to make a paddle having a single blade,
a bent shaft, or double blades; How to protect a paddle with oil or
varnish; What to look for when test-driving a paddle; How to
decorate a paddle; How to care for and repair a paddle.The book
also covers: Paddle design - grips, shaft, blade, flexibility,
weight, balance; Paddle woods and adhesives; Hand tools, power
tools and homemade tools, carving and finishing tools; Making the
paddle - size, design, mark out, cut and carve; Paddle plans,
including Beavertail, Voyageur, Algonquin, Whitewater, Bent-shaft,
Double-blade, Child's; Templates for grips, tips and blades;
Materials sources. The authors include an appreciation of the
evolution of the paddle plus a special chapter by renowned
canoe-building teacher David Gidmark, which celebrates
paddle-making in the native American tradition.
