34" shaft. 51" LOA

Looks like a cozy little workspace.

I recently came upon a source of recycled, old growth, western red cedar. It's beautiful wood but certainly not clear stock. It takes a lot of planning on how/where to cut/mill, to work around the knots and other defects. Given the scarcity and cost of buying clear stock and the fact that it is...

Bridge cameras all have a removable SD or similar card so getting photos onto your laptop is as simple as removing the card from the camera and plugging it into the laptop. Additionally, most give you an option of transferring via a cable and some also a wireless option. My only caution with...

Most of the time, it is. The lens is pretty dang sharp, focuses quickly and is easy to handle, in the boat. It's also my hiking lens. I have a 180mm-600mm that I use for for "serious" wildlife photography. I've used it in the canoe, a few times but it is a bear to handle.

Several have messaged me, from this and other forums, about better photos of the freestyle blade that was show in the group of four paddles, earlier in this thread. The freestyle blade has thinner edges and instead of Dynel, the edge is triple laminated hardwood. The tip is a non-Dynel...
