Product Description

Review
Will challenge any canoeist ... to design and craft a paddle ... This fascinating book ... is richly illustrated. -- Art Lander Jr. "Lexington Herald-Leader" (04/01/2001)

Synopsis
Canoeists are increasingly discovering the deep satisfaction in creating their own equipment rather than adapting to the generic standards of boats and paddles available through retailers. 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 custom-made articles is a dream challenge. 1 Diversity: Evolution of the canoe paddle; 2 Design: Inner Workings of the canoe paddle; 3 Woods and Adhesives: A Guide to Materials; 4 Tools: Selecting your Level of Technology; 5 Paddlemaking Basics 6 Adding Power; 7 Double Blade Paddles; 8 Oil and Varnishes; 9 Care and repair; 10 Origins & Native Traditions; 11 Paddle Plans; 12 Glossary/Resources; Hand-made canoe and paddle building is a craft at an all-time high at the moment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Canoe Paddles: A Complete Guide to Making Your Own, 30 Aug 2004
By A Customer
A lovely book to own, and a good manual to guide you through the process of making canoe paddles. Provides excellent detail on some of the trickier parts of the process and includes a nice range of designs with offsets.

I also bought 'Making Canoe Paddles in Wood', Graham Warren's earlier book on the subject (direct from Graham), and while both books provide all the information needed to make a paddle from start to finish, as is so often the case with manuals, it sometimes helps to see things expalined in two different ways.

I have built two paddles now, am very happy with the results, and am planning a couple more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book with appropriate information, 7 Oct 2004
By A Customer
This is a nice book, well written and describes paddlemaking well. You can read it from cover to cover and then dip in as your paddle project progresses. All instructions and guidance are there as are the very useful templates for shaping the paddles. As a woodworker this book meets my needs but I can also see that it would serve a novice well. I think a bandsaw is pretty essential though but I could see myself cutting out wood with a jigsaw or by hand if I didn't have one. This is a good value book and if you're thinking of paddlemaking I'd recommend this book could do it for you.
