Class Description

Description Cancellation Policy

Description

In this class, you can learn to carve your own canoe paddle. From the shape of the blade, to its length, to the shape of the handle, the paddle you create will be made for you, by you. Choose either and Otter Tail or Beaver Tail blade shape.

You'll be provided with a carving blank laminated of carefully selected woods. Using just hand tools, and finishing with a palm sander and hand sanding, you will carve your paddle blade to the desired shape. Once the blade is shaped, you will custom fit your paddle, by carving the shape of the grip area to fit your hands and cutting the paddle shaft to the perfect length for you.

Students leave with a completed paddle ready for use. Beginners are welcome.
