My first Laker is finished

Post by toolman »

Just finished my first build and just in time for my wife for Christmas.Now waiting for the plans fo my next build.ImageImageImageImageI made the cover to protect the inside from the weather when it's not being usedImageThe paddle ends were ones I got from Grey Owel paddle that were 2nds and tossed out.I used my 1/2" wide belt sander to gouge it out then finished with the orbital sander ,hope it works.
