Building a Greenland Paddle, Part 15: Finishing your Greenland Paddle

[@merccrewlcab2385]

I just gotta say that this while series has been an amazing learning experience! Thank you so much for doing this! I will for sure report back once I get one or two built and see how I like it, ha! Cheers eh! -Shiny

Thanks for the videos. I bought the plans and just finished my first paddle. Can’t wait to try it out!

I've got paddles all over the house, in almost every corner. Behind the door in the office. A whole pile of early, poor jobs up in the attic. But I am going to have to make at least two more, to try Brian's techniques and the Rubio and scrubbed in Tung Oil with sandpaper. That sounds exotic.

I love Rubio!! I just used it on my most recent paddle. I am rough on my paddles and this seems to hold up very nicely and is beautiful. Definitely recommend the accelerator if you're in a bit of a rush. Thanks so much for these videos. I was shooting in the dark with Holst's PDF, and this solidified what I was doing and taught me new techniques. I can't wait to laminate one, as there are not many resources for doing that.

7:32 you discuss applying a second coat, suggesting a wait of 4-5 days if hardener is *not* used. What should the interval be when using hardener? Thanks!

Can we see the finished paddle?
