Found what I was looking for. Kurt's page:
http://mysite.verizon.net/NGC704/greenlandpaddle/

: I periodically have down time in the shop waiting around for
: something to happen cure/set or a tool to become available, and
: it seemed smarter to have a side project or two to work on
: instead of sitting around. I picked up some cheap clear 2x2x8'
: boards yesterday, and was going to assemble some paddle blanks.

: Any good resources on doing this? I'm aware of grain
: considerations, and I've seen Ross's description on his site.
: I'm wondering if there is anything to worry about with regards
: to glue, dimensions, etc., or any shortcuts.
