Homemade Mash Paddle Pics

+1 on no tung oil. If needed mineral oil is food safe but after doing my walnut mash paddle i would forgo oil as after two brews its all off anyway.

Looks nice! I'd avoid the tung oil. You don't want tung oil in your mash as its probably not safe to consume (unless you know its 100% pure tung oil, but even then) and ipe is naturally oily and water resistant anyway.

Hmmm good catch, plus being inside it wont really grey ad much. Cool, thanks.

Didn't make it myself but I picked it up from a great etsy shop. Had him do a matching flight too

Wambizzle that thing rocks!

Which etsy shop?! I'd like to hit one of those myself if it's not over $100

 

[wambizzle]

It was only like 50 or 60 if I remember correctly. I'll send you the shop name in a dm

Here's my rake. No adhesives. Press fit with toothpicks to pin the joints.

Rough finish. Still needs some sanding.

My dad pulled out the tools today. Came out awesome. Is it absolutely necessary to put some kind of oil on it?

Best if you use Food safe mineral oil. Like for cutting boards. Beautiful Paddle. I used the oil when I first made mine. Keeps it from cracking..
Cheers.

 

[demantis1585]

Nice mash paddle! That's exciting!

This is the one I made last week, no oil or stain, but I did darken it by using a torch.

I made my paddle from a piece of red oak. It's not the best woodworking but I'm happy with it and it works great!

 

[TriggerHappy]

I have been using old oars, sanding down to clean wood then making my cuts. Don't know what types of wood they are made from but have turned out pretty handy. It is nice because the old ones are 1 piece not laminate or glued, didn't know if the woods would affect the beer?

I use a big a## spoon from my kitchen. Works great.

 

[chisena]

I bought a large stainless paddle a while ago... completely unnecessary. To big and clunky. I still default back to a large stainless spoon.

 

[GrogNerd]

I've also gone back to a "big a## spoon from my kitchen" for convenience.

so I might put some kind of finish on my paddle and hang it on the wall in The Brew Lab™

I just found this:

http://mashpaddle.com/

I cant believe paying $75 bucks for a paddle that is simply cut out from a plank.

Ive seen some fine quality homemade mash paddles on this thread, that I would rather have, than what I found on the site. But I still wouldn't pay $75 clams for them.
I made mine with a lathe turned handle from a 3 inch square stock, and I still wouldn't fork out that investment.

Maybe its just me.
