wdwerker Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Body solder? Is that like what they used before bondo ? My uncle showed me how to do that in the early 70's. I think the paddle was basswood that had been soaked to keep it from flaming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and contrary to others, I like the looks of hickory and pecan! But that would be one heavy ass paddle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
