Project
I have been acquiring materials for a project over the past few months.
My hope is that these materials and some time will result in a nicely finished Carbon Fiber Paddle. I am sure the first attempt will need some refinement, but once the master mold is complete, reproducing them will take considerably less time. I am optimistic that it will turn out with a beautiful finish. Carbon Fiber is also a very strong and stiff material when laminated over a core. I am very curious what this thing will feel like. I will be sure to personally test it for durability. =)
I will be sure to post pics of the finished product.
