Curious about Wooden Canoes
I've finally started carving my own paddle. It's ash with perfectly straight grain, along with a dark streak on one side. Beautiful--although I had to buy 2" stock and plane off most of it.
I have always used a symmetrical grip--if fact, I didn't know there were any other styles until I read it in the carving book. I was wondering if anyone prefers asymmetrical grips, and why. My first paddle will be symmetrical, but the second's up in the air right now.
