Epoxy
Posted by: mrmannerz on Mar-04-13 10:28 AM (EST)

I prefer straight linseed oil on the paddles that I carve, but my paddles aren't laminated....so-
I'm going to guess that he laminated the paddle with epoxy. I would go with epoxy and varnish just to really keep the water out and not have problems with wood expansion and glue that doesn't expand.
