The Making Of A Shaw & Tenney Handmade Wooden Canoe Paddle - Final Drum Sanding

The last step in shaping our handcrafted wooden canoe paddles is done on our pneumatic drum sanders. The craftsmen very carefully finalized the shape of the paddle and ease all the edges to provide the exceptional comfort characteristic of a solid traditional wooden paddle. We start with the 100 grit sandpaper drum and move up to the 120 as we near completion of this step. Each craftsman will vary the air pressure in the drum to his or her own particular taste based on the paddle model and wood species. We also insure that all sanding scratches are fully removed from the wood. Last the grip is sanded on a vertical sandpaper board to its final contour.
