Francois Rothan recently made a 1/3rd scale model Malecite paddle complete with some beautiful chip carved motifs. Here's a shot below
It's carved out of maple, a pretty challenging wood to do etching work on, so I've been told. Great workmanship. If you didn't catch my post on Francois' full scale chip carved paddle, you can read it here.
I'm an avid canoeist and general "outdoorsy type" guy with a bit of an artistic side. Started this hobby of making custom canoe paddles after my disappointing experience with most commercial brands. This site documents various styles of single blade canoe paddles I've made or researched as well as other canoe related info I've stumbled across on my internet wanderings. Kindly note that this site is a non-commercial enterprise and no paddles are for sale. Information provided is for educational use and purposes only. Hope you enjoy your visit.
