"Small Paddles: An Exploration" - article by member Rob Stevens

Northern Lakes Chapter member, Rob Stevens, has written a great little article entitled, "Small Paddles: An Exploration" that appears in the latest issue of Wooden Canoe (Issue #227 - Vol 45 - No3). 

The piece is well illustrated and features the history of miniature paddles manufactured as samples / souvenirs from various canoe companies, as well as historical artists like Alpheus E. Keech (1855-1926). Also featured are the miniature paddle samples in the private collection of Roger Young and Benson Gray, as well as some of the scaled model canoe paddles made by Murat Vardar.
