Kayak Paddles

I've been making Greenland style kayak paddles recently
This is the first one, It's a little rough and heavy, used only hand tools sitting on the steps of my shack this summer

The construction is two laminated cedar 1" x 4"s with maple tips and finished with marine polyurethane. Haven't weighed this one. not sure if I want to

I'll get pictures of the second one up soon. It was made using some power tools for basic shaping and ended up weighing 30 oz which is lighter than some carbon fibre paddles
