I overheard a conversation the other day about a site that makes custom made mash paddles. I tried looking through the threads and couldn't find anything so I was wondering if you hop noggens knew any good websites??
I just got a great custom mash paddle from www.wildvinecarvings.com
Every thing was hand carved and the handle was even wrapped in leather.
I'll post pictures when I get home, I'm posting from my phone right now.
It looks pretty easy from what you made there! At least it will give me a new project to try!:rockin:
Let me know when you get pictures up! I would definitely like to see the end result! How much did it cost you from this site, if you don't mind me asking?

I felt like it deserved its own thread. :cross:
Here's mine, cost $4 from the local hardwood shop for a 4" wide length that was long enough to make two. Of course factoring labor/time but like IndyTruks said it's about the satisfaction of having something you made by hand. I don't have a scroll saw, just a coping saw ($5 from homedepot) and a drill + saw bits.
The original quote was 125 but I added all kinds of fancy designs and stuff and it ended up around 200$. I can't stand to touch wood, some kind of weird thing I have with it so the buckskin handle was a must. All the relief carving sure did turn a lot of heads and draw a crowd at the last club meeting I went to.
