"This heart-handled love paddle was my favorite project as an amateur woodworker. Starting with a simple wooden base, I used a laser engraving technique to create the intricate design in the center. Afterward, I spent a lot of time sanding the paddle to ensure a smooth, flawless finish. The process was both challenging and rewarding, and I loved seeing it transform into this beautiful, polished piece. Creating this paddle was an enjoyable experience, and it’s a reflection of the care and effort I put into every detail."
The idea for this love paddle began when my wife jokingly said, 'You’re making a paddle,' while I was looking for a design—so I ran with it! I started by choosing a simple wooden base and engraving the center with a meaningful picture using a laser engraver. The process was a creative journey.
Takes about 5 passes at 100 power to cut out.
Sand to Your liking to get nice and smooth.
I really enjoyed this project, I think it turned out nice.
