: Thanks for the info, I think I'll give it a try. I was a little confused with
: some of the info on your web page though...are we still talking about
: kayak paddles here???

Aww, c'mon, you can do better than that! ;)

: The sizes shown are for a shaft sized for my wife, which I laid up the next
: day.

In case anyone was wondering, I wrote in the text on my page that I used 1/4" x 7/16" and 1/4" x 11/16" strips to make a 1 1/8" x 1 3/8" paddle shaft. In the photo, I showed 1/4" x 3/8" and 1/4" x 5/8" strips to make a 1" x 1 1/4" paddle shaft. I was clarifying that the strip sizes in the text and the strip sizes in the image don't match up, and why.
