I have some white oak boards sitting around and I swear I heard one beg me for some attention. I believe it is jealous that the pressure treated 4x4's and the crappy cheap-o 2x4's are getting all the glory by holding up my mash tun etc... I've heard it's cry and I do believe I can end it's pain and misery by sawing it up, routering a bit of it's grainy flesh away and sanding that of it's body I deem inappropriate to a beautiful paddle shape! How long from end to end should I make it? how wide should the handle be? How wide should the paddle be? how wide should the hole be in the center of the paddle? Do I need to do anything other than sand it to prepare it for service?
