In Response To: Other: Building a kayak paddle (Kyle Lindstrom)

I am currently building a hollow 0 offset shaft right now. I will use fiberglass blades. I have decided to go with tighbond III as I don't want to fiddle with the resin. I figure with a good seal coat it should be fine, as long as I don't decide to store it at the bottom of a river for extended periods. Because I haven't done it yet, and I can't help with the "results" section yet. ADaM

: I did a search on building a paddle and found no results. If I search on just
: paddle I get a million hits. I want to build a traditional offset paddle
: (not greenland) for my kayak. I have Nicks book but am looking for others
: who have built paddles that might have some good pictures as they built
: their paddles. Please post your links.

: Not sure if I should use a good waterproof wood glue or epoxy to glue it up.

: Thanks in advance.
