Make Your Own Paddle

Home made, bent shaft canoe paddles

Paddle maker Lee Dybvig shares tips on constructing modern, functional, wood, bent shaft canoe paddles. Using tools in his home wood shop, glue and clamps. Lee taught himself the art of paddle making.  "My paddles are designed to be used as paddles".
