Who doesnt need an evil mash paddle? AKA: Got really bored and wanted to make something cool.
Current pic from today.
Used various round objects (pvc pipe, elongated bowls, compass) to get good round lines. A ratchet set works beautifully for various smaller sizes.
Jigsaw only to cut the base.
Used a mix of dremel carving bits and hand carving gouges to get the tribal'ish paddle holes dug.
I've sanded the heck out of it and yes the horns are sharp. Still has alot of strength too. 3 feet long.
I'm learning relief carving so next i'm going to add a woven patern on the handle for grip and i have several other places that i'll be carving a raised hop etc.
Alot left to do with it.
