Found another vintage paddling photo - this one a postcard of silent film actress, Pearl White.
The canoe is a gorgeous looking closed-gunnel model with considerable tumblehome and slender, classic heart shaped decks. Her paddle has some decorative banding on the blade...
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.
