Bald Cypress Greenland paddle plus

I was wondering the same thing as Angela.
I’d post a picture of my air paddle, but…

Angela, the Gflex 655 is thickened, and doesn’t run. It more or less stays in place, but it will sag. I do one blade and let it set before starting on the other. I just flip the blade over when it sags to make it sag back the other way. I turn it several times for about 20 minutes. I apply more than is needed. Once I have both blades done I let it harden overnight. The next day I file and sand it to shape, and sand the paddle smooth.

Nice work. Life as art
I have made some canoe paddles that I have been using for 30 years. I use them as a cutting board when making dinner. The beauty is in the function.

If you don’t live with them around you, just sayin’

Very nice work! I found these guys in South Carolina that mill paulownia wood if you need in future.
