Would aspen or poplar be okay for a mash paddle? Not sure what wood works. Cant find maple but dic find these boards.
Someone said something about closed grain hardwoods, so I made mine out of Oak. But who knows
Sorry to mention it but oak is an open grain hardwood. You really wanted maple or birch. With that said, I suspect your oak paddle will be fine and last for generations.

When I first started brewing all grain I didn't know I needed a paddle until I needed a paddle, and grabbed the first thing I could use; an old yellow pine bed slat. I started carving and removed everything that didn't look like a paddle and Voila' I had a paddle.
