This is a small basswood canoe paddle that I carved for my son to celebrate his first Boy Scout Summer Camp. The finish is Deft Sanding Sealer and multiple coats of Deft Clear Gloss Lacquer that was wet sanded between coats and finished with wax. I posted a small blog on the process of makinng the decals used on the paddle.

Neat, I like the decals, it gives it class, & it’s personal. My son is in the vinyl sign business, I think he’d enjoy seeing this.

Thanks Dick. I think some day this will be a small treasure for my son to share with his son!

And David, take it from me, you will be a grandfather in the twinkling of an eye. Time does pass so very fast.

This is a very nice memento for your son, one I agree he will cherish. I do like the label idea and will read your blog on that.

That is a nice neckerchief slide. Mine in boyscout’s was simply their standard metal issue.

Very nice Dave – your son should treasure that for a long time. When I first saw it and did not read or expand the photo out – I though it might be a “hello stick for fish” – glad to see it was something that was worth while and again something that you will remember giving.
Thumbs up….

David, thanks for the ruler. When I saw it on your blog I thought it was a lot larger. Your son is a very lucky lad!

ah! the old boy scout neckerchief slide – I made a few of them in my day, most carved with a pocket knife (which might have been for woodcarving merit badge)...but certainly nothing looking as nice as this…think I have all those merit badges listed on the back too….
