Yours looks to have some nice options. Question for you.....what are you using for paddles ?...thanks Ness Back in my old town collection days I picked up about a dozen old spruce paddles. I like those the best. I've stopped in @ Shaw & Tenney and have some ash stuff from them and some ash from OT. I also had Shaw & Tenney make me a double ender out of sassafras.
