A few fleeting days at home between adventures.

The wooden paddle is coming along steadily. Lots of planing today, making square things round is tricky. They have a name now. UgliStiks.

Can you tell what it is?

According to Wikipedia “Sapele, Sapelli or Aboudikro (Entandrophragma cylindricum) is a large tree, up to 45 m high (rarely 60 m), native to tropical Africa.” I have just bought a nice coloured lump of one of them, hopefully soon it will be a lovely wooden squirt paddle.
