Kudzu Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 I bought myself a Christmas present several weeks ago and it was just finished. I asked Jill Ellis of Adanac paddles to build me a paddle after seeing one of hers. Anxious to see it but I have no doubt the quality is just amazing!

vttramper Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 That's a beauty - love the logo. The paddles on the Adanac website look very nice - did you go with a shouldered model? I have never used a Greenland paddle, but now that my Ravenswood is finished it seems like I should. I have a good source of WRC near me and I am tempted to pick out a nice tight grained board and try a hand at making my own. I have no expectations of being able to match the Adanac quality, however!

JReed Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 That is nice. The logo came out nice and I like the tip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kudzu Posted January 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 A buddy had her make him one several months ago and I was just in awe at the quality. I just waited till she ran a sale and I ordered one. (I try to never pay retail ) I think I make a pretty good paddle but his was flawless! It is just a work of art! So I am really anxious to get it! Dave is is western red cedar and purple heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobsim Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 That is a pretty paddle, top rung work there. Good for you! I was surfing their site and learned a lot about Greenland paddles. Never really thought about them before, hmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kudzu Posted January 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 I had a fair amount of shoulder pain using a Euro paddle. When I started using a GP that quit except when I just over do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P Doug (WA) Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 So do you hang that beautiful paddle over the fireplace? I mean you don't take it out and scuff it up in some dirty river do you?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kudzu Posted January 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 I will hang it on the boat trailer with one of those pretty kayaks and drive the water ASAP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
