Starting with a 6 ft. 1x6 board of green hemlock, you will carve a Wabenaki-inspired canoe paddle. You will mark layout lines and then remove waste wood with a low-angle block plane and spokeshave; a jack plane, a ½” – ¾” chisel, and chip carving knife, or a drawknife would be useful but not essential. If you do not have a low-angle block plane and spokeshave, Home Depot sells Stanley versions at $36 and $22. These tools are not mandatory. Call our office if you have any questions. Sharpen all cutting tools well. You will also need a notebook, carpenter’s pencil, or an ultra-fine Sharpie, two to four 4” or 6” clamps, and one standard height sawhorse. We will make an heirloom-quality paddle for your summer fun or an amazing gift. (A new paddle from Shaw and Tenney costs about $300).

A $30 materials fee is payable to the instructor at the first class.
