Indeed. In the internet world if there are no pics it doesn't exist. this is fresh after the second coat of some Tung oil formulation with no stain I bought at Lowe's. It had some wholesome man's picture on the bottle and seemed good enough. The two paddles have different loom sizes and vastly different wrists.

If done again, when laminating I would not taper the wrists again like the smooth transition paddle but repeat the shorter transition as in the beefier paddle (seee second picture). I have tested before the finish was applied and they are both deadly silent and quite smooth.
