Paddle making?

[fxst]

OK Hairy got me started on another boat, kayak this time and while waitng for the plans thought I might make the paddle for it while I wait.:doh:
Any plans, ideas on the design or timber choices? A broomstick with a couple 200x19 pine ovals nailed to it doesn't seem to cut it :D

boatmik has a fairly easy to build and pretty, free paddle plan on his website.

I've built one or two of Mik's paddles, but as usual digressed from the plan so won't post pics! (One of them has a hollow shaft, 2.5 mm thick pine so it doesn't weigh much!)

I'm building a couple of others at the moment too, but it's too early to start the how-to and they're single paddles not doubles.

Could you document the process? I know Mik would be most appreciative, as would many others.

Cheers,

P
