The day started with a laying out the basic shape of the paddle.
After layout, cutting out the blank.
Then, more layout of the finished shape to be able to start removing wood.
I didn't get as far as I originally planned, but for a first attempt at a a really different design compared what I normally produce, not terrible. By the time I actually try to produce a few of these, it should be down to the normal 3-4 hours each.
I did make a little more progress today, for those of you coming to Heritage Days at Galesburg in a week and a half (holy crap), this finished product should be there for display.
Anybody want to place an order?
Kidding.

Have to wait until the paddle whore Wil returns home from work. It's been several months since he purchased a paddle for his collection. What really need is for the Ark builder's friends to purchase their own paddles instead of using ours all the time. We hinted that you & another guy would be at Galesburg Heritage Days.
Can't wait to see you at Galesburg! I'll be bringing my oldest down with me; she enjoyed Theatiki so much, she wants to go to every event now! I'm glad _someone_ in my family wants to...
Looking forward to seeing the new paddle, too. (That's one thing I never thought I'd ever say...) ;-)
I need a custom made teeny tiny paddle for me....what can we work out? :)
