Details
Event Type Class Description Carve your own canoe paddle! From the shape of the paddle blade, to its length, to the shape of the handle, the paddle you create will be made for you, by you. Choose either Otter Tail or Beaver Tail shaped blade for your paddle. Each participant in the class will be provided with paddle blank laminated of carefully selected woods. Using hand tools 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. Prior to the end of the first day, you will glue to your paddle the wood that will be carved into the paddle’s handle. On the second day you will carve the handle, complete the paddle’s final shaping prior to sanding and applying apply a hand rubbed oil finish. Students leave with a completed paddle. Beginners welcome. Organization Hosting the Event Hudson River Maritime Museum Phone Number 8453380071x15Registration
