$35.00 Amazon Find! - Redtail Paddle Company's Beavertail Canoe Paddle
Рет қаралды 2,691
Күн бұрынThis beavertail canoe paddle on Amazon seemed too good to be true, but it is great quality! I was able to finish it and make it a one-of-a-kind custom paddle. Come to find out, this inexpensive paddle is actually handmade in Ontario, Canada by Redtail Paddle Company. I highly suggest getting one!

@@BackcountryPaddler Will do...would love to show you...might be a little while. We are just getting out of winter, so I have to wait to do the Urethane. Question for you...did you ever put the epoxy on the tip. If so, how did it work and what did you use....thanks...Jim
@BackcountryPaddler 2 жыл бұрын
Nope, just the urethane and it held up okay. May have to add more each off-season. Epoxy is a good idea. No rush... email me a photo when you're done!

I imagine it'll hold up okay. I'll likely have to add a coat of urethane every so often depending on use and abuse. Can't wait to try it out!

Nice project ! Good for you man. I use a Bending branches beaver tail paddle as a backup paddle to my Werner double blade on trips. Its also really nice cruising around with a beaver tail paddle before dark. very relaxing ! Cheers !
@BackcountryPaddler 3 жыл бұрын
My thoughts exactly.. I'll have both my Werner double blade and this paddle and can alternate whenever. So many ways to paddle now!

Great vid! How has it held up to use on the water? The wood looks a little soft, especially at the tip of the blade where they often get banged up. But who can really say from a vid image.
@BackcountryPaddler Жыл бұрын
Honestly it has exceeded my expectations! I figured for my first paddle and having a custom finish it wouldn't hold up long but it certainly has. I haven't used it a million times and it would be wise to re-coat every year or 2, but I haven't needed to yet and I've scraped and pushed off many rocky bottoms. Cheers!
@RDobbs-uv4xc Жыл бұрын
Thanks for the response. So it's managed to not crack or splinter or ding up really huh? I use the same spar varnish on walking sticks I've made as well as another paddle I had to rehab. I tend to go heavier on the coats. At least three or four. The process takes longer of course but it's worth it imo. Nice choice on the stain.
@BackcountryPaddler Жыл бұрын
I did use several coats of vanish but yes, no chipping or cracking!

Oh sorry, I thought you only used two coats. Thanks for all the info. Keep paddling brother.
