5.0 out of 5 stars Up the creek without a paddle?, Get this book, July 20, 2005
A fine, clearly written book on paddle making. The author covers wood, tools, paddle types and includes plans for a number of differnt models including a child's paddle. Most require the use of some power tools but if you're stuck in the woods, paddleless with only an axe and a crooked knife you can construct a paddle. No crooked knife in your kit, you say. Instructions for making one are included, although you might need the help of a blacksmith buddy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!, December 1, 2001
By Perry M Gee (Redding, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This is one of the best wood working books of any kind I have read. Lots of detail and many tips. The paddle building skills mixed with the Native American history of the paddle was very interesting. I can't wait for their next advanced book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book for making Canoe paddles, May 4, 2005
Great Book for making Canoe paddles also on making anything out of wood. I found the easy to read and how much depth it had. You could take a brief look at this book and come
out with enough information to make a good paddle.
