Hey folks,
Coming to you from the wilds of upper Canada. I was wondering if any of you have ever seen a drawing, or actual specimen, of Nessmuk's one handed canoe paddle. His friends jokingly called it his pudding stick. He gives its dimensions as 20"X3" but no other info except for how he used it while fishing or hunting from his canoe (chapter IX of "Woodcraft and Camping"). I have a hankering to make one, but don't want to reinvent the wheel if I can help it. A search of the web turned up some interesting items such as the "piranha" and the "praddle" but no Nessmuk paddle. Can anybody out there help me?
Many thanks in advance Keep the keel side down.
