Sweet paddle Connor! Nice job.

Safety whats? And you can get a mask for dust, you say?

Hehe Stuey....too many one eyed wood butchers with respiratory problems running around as there is. I know old habits are hard to break for us old guys...

That is really nice work -- you both should be very proud (especially you dad)!

Teaching kids how to use their hands is a rare thing these days and the skills he's learned will pay off all throughout his life.

It's a great bonding experience working with your kids and I wish more people would do it.

I hope you've inspired more dads to get projects going with their kids -- good work!

What's next for you two? A board maybe???

Thanks for the kind words Rogue

The way he is growing he is going to need a taller one soon

He will hand that one off to his little bro

You are absolutely correct
If you guys and gals have kids its really great bonding time   Highly recommended

Sweet!! You guys taking orders? Conner  how about a 81 cm custom made big wave paddle? Super Dave

[hb aloha]

Super Dave
Connor and I would love to make you a paddle but he says 81 cm may be too short for you

We actually just picked up a batch of exotic hardwoods today

We are pretty stoked to play some more
