Does anyone out there know where I can find any free plans or web sites about making some nice wooden yak paddles? I am primarily interested in making non-greenland style paddles as it is more of a challenge.
Check out…
www.kayakforum.com
It is a wood kayak building website. I suspect there are folks there who can direct you to a variety of resources.
I do know that Nick Schade provides directions for building a wooden euro paddle in his book:

I guess you could also contact Nick directly as he may have plans for building a paddle.
Good luck…

Great question. It’s something I’ve always wanted to try, but have only seen greenland style paddles.

Seems like a small cost to get the tips to speed the learning curve.
