Learn to make your own Greenland paddle.
Tom Froese from T & J Custom Paddles will show you how!
Starting with your physical dimensions, your “blank” Western Red Cedar paddle arrives at class with the basic shape cut out. Over the next 4 hours, Tom will guide you through the process of shaping your paddle with nothing but basic hand tools.
You’ll leave class with a finished, rough-sanded Greenland paddle that you can take home and finish however you choose; leave it rough, fine sand to a silky smooth finish, stain, paint, oil, add graphics, whatever your heart desires.
