Greenland paddle done

I finally got my paddle done.

I never really liked sanding, but it was a great satisfaction sanding it down to a grit 500, seeing the grains gain depth and feeling the increasing smoothness of the surface.

When I started reparing the small scratches obtained by the rubbing of the paddle against the workshop table, I knew it was time to stop.

Tomorrow I will take it for a spin, I then need to finish it of with a minor sanding and some oil.
