Bare wood
Posted by: gingernc on Mar-06-13 8:49 AM (EST)

Mine are bare wood too -- the ones I made from western red cedar. The ones I bought or won were oil-finished once (a Beale and a Lumpy). But I don't see that the finish really adds anything beyond beauty. My well-used paddles are silvery now.
