Nothing special here; im experimenting and will show you what i learn. After rooting thru the Cedar at H. Depot i bought a couple clean 1x6’s which had good faces (on one side). Epoxy was applied to both faces and a single piece of lite glass tape was laid down between them before combining the halves and piling on some weight.
After jig sawing the paddle went to the milling machine and lost some weight. Right now im hand (power) planing before moving to a belt sander and hand tools. I’m quite happy with the weight so far, knowing that will come down more yet. I’m patterning this after a Sassafras otter tail.
