    Two malecite chip carved paddles I've made recently, one is in cedar the other in sugar maple, They display traditional double curved patterns . Length: 6 feet

    Wow! I appreciate how difficult it is to get such clean pattern in hard maple.

    Nice work.

    Quick question. With all the carving, are these working or presentation paddles? Is there any finish?
