Original Starting post for this thread:
Okay not knowing a lot about this activity and in reality neither of us having a real desire to participate in it this may seem odd but here goes. I (the male half) have quite a bit of time on my hands and have been looking for another new hobby to pass the time. After a visit to a local club I got inspired to turn an old leather weight belt I had picked up into a leather paddle. I really enjoyed working on the project and learned a lot along the way. In fact if I can find another belt or two (or even purchase leather) I plan to make a better version with what I learned. The thing is since I have never used such a device, even though I now have one still have no desire to do so but I would like to see it used, I have no clue what design features folks would prefer. I'm sure my handle size is more for larger hands like my own (I had no other person to grab it) however the wife says even with her smaller hand size she could use it (no desire to though). I plan to work with the handle design on my next one and make it more "average" . Thing is I have done quite a bit of research and found out I know next to nothing about other features of such a device. I mean they come in all sorts of shapes and sizes some with holes, a doubled over strap, two straps as a striking surface, varied shape of "striking" surface, etc . I have nothing more than a researcher's book knowledge of why this or that. Of course I want to perfect a "basic" design before I move on to more complicated ones however I figured I would ask those that actually use such things what you would like to see in a leather paddle?

Oh and I have also recently toyed with the idea of making a leather wrapped "switch" with a solid fiberglass core (old lightweight fiberglass fishing rod) because I have the rod with broken handle on hand. BTW none of this is for a business venture but rather just to quell a desire to make some things and expand my knowledge base in the how to aspect. I go through this from time to time and when I learn how to do things to my satisfaction I generally get bored and move on to something else. That is not to say I may not sell a few things I make to fund other projects but I'm not trying to make money just pass my time doing something without spending from the budget.
