Canoes paddles: 2nd attempt

2nd attempt at making canoe paddles. I made one for myself, the taller one made of cherry, and one for my now fiancée, made of birch. I was fortunate enough to spend time with Doug Ingram of Red River Canoe & Paddle who helped me tremendously and has since been a mentor in my quest to learn woodworking. He is a true inspiration and is a master of his craft. The drawings are india ink, using a dip pen.
This paddle followed me on numerous trips into Quetico park where I served as a canoe guide. It has served me well, but is now in need of a bit of love. 2 of the laminations has come unglued near the tip, where I contacted rocks a few times in shallow waters!
