Paddle Making Responses

Here are some of the comments received from our paddle making courses:

I have a Paddle making book and although I could have learned from the book I realized the best approach would be to take a course. This one answered all my questions! People I show my paddle to can't believe I carved it by hand! Gerry was great to work with and extremely knowledgeable!!

I am very honoured to have had the opportunity to spend a day with Gerry learning how to craft a paddle form such a large blank and it honestly melts my heart every time I look at the paddle I made that fits just me :))


It was more demanding in skill level and fitness than I thought. However, the instructor was very helpful in assisting so the paddle could be finished.


Gerry's experience and knowledge about paddles, canoes, tripping and the great wilderness in our back yard shows what an expert he really is.

Two more Paddle Making courses are scheduled for November 2 and December 7. Register early!
