Paddel from a pallet

[birdbrain57]

Tools used were hatchet,spokeshave and a rasp.Must admit though i did use an electric planer and a belt sander to thin the blade.

Nothing wrong with using the odd power tool now and then .

Nice work mate.

That turned out lovely, nice work. Sometimes when heavy machinery is delivered they have to use wood that wont crush under huge weights so they use decent stuff and not wubbish pine. I have had some great bits if wood from my neighbour who recues them from the chipper for me at his factory. If it does feel to heavy i am sure you could stick it on a diet without loosing too much strength.

Now that's sweet. Like that a lot! Well done!

Thats very nice, what did you do the burning with?

 

[birdbrain57]

The pics were burnt on with a cheapy pyro pen off ebay about 15 quid ish but im sure aldi or lidl had the same one a few weeks ago for about 9 quid.

Nice shape, a paddling buddy of mine has a beautiful hand carved paddle but his cost a fortune.

paddle handles can be a range of shapes, goggle HAIDA paddle to see an unusual one, but very comfy for deep water touring.
