I have found over time that paddles can be made most efficiently in groups of four. When I need to get some done and there are less than four ordered, I fill the group out with a paddle of my own choice. These paddles are sometimes designed with a fairly standard combination of wood species or I may indulge my desire to try a new and unusual combination. The Eco and Ottertail paddles are a recently finished project and there will be a limited number available in stock.
