Dave,
I'd be interested in seeing pics of the next part. I've made plenty of carbon tubes but never made a paddle blade. When I get my current project out of the way I'll probably make a carbon kayak to compliment my timber kayaks and I'll make a carbon paddle to go with it. So pics would be great when you get onto the blade.
Thanks,
Phill

I know that the voices in my head aint real,
but they have some pretty good ideas.
There is no such thing as a quick fix and I've never had free lunch!
