Paddle Number Twelve, goodness I'm at a dozen already? This is my Mistresses paddle. She made a comment that I always make thick-handled paddles that fit 'man hands' as she calls them, so I went and sanded a paddle down to nothing for a super thin handle, naturally I had to use a very hard wood so it doesn't break and I used redwood for the scaling. I decided to do something I'd been wanting to do for a while and leather-wrapped the body of the paddle using adhesive spray and tacks to hold it in place. All-in-all I like it, and she likes it too which is what matters, lol!
