Make a 2-string Chugger from a 30" Canoe Paddle!

It's been a while since I've made an instrument in the workshop. I found this 30" paddle at a sporting goods store and decided to turn it into a 2-string chugger. I didn't really have a plan but it came together nicely.

That`s got to inspire anyone who sees and hears it to get out and buy a canoe paddle!
