In Response To: what to do with my rock (Don Beale)

: I'm thinking I could block it onto a flat 2x6 and run it through the planer,
: take it down on both sides to about 3/8" thick, leaving the shape and
: the edges. Than laminate cedar, or redwood, or *gasp* buy some spruce and
: laminate that, and then reshape it.

just my opinion, and i admit to being fairly new at this, but i like the idea of planing down the paddle and useing it as the core of a laminated paddle that is allready the shape that you like. another reason i like the idea might be because i just bought a delta thickness planer. :D on the off-chance that you might ruin the paddle and have to start again, trace it first, and use a contour gauge to take profiles off the "rock"

The width reach could be the problem with 1 to 1.
