New venture: Paddles

Since restoration often has "down time" involved, waiting for epoxy to set/ paint to dry it was decided that a smaller project might prevent that time from being wasted. A book I got as a Christmas gift inspired me to try some Adirandack paddles. The photos are of my first effort in cherry.The grain in this wood is beautiful with just a few coats of oil. It is light and the cherry has some pretty flame graining not apparent in the pictures.
