How to make a paddle from a log

Introduction

	Here are two logs that were gathered while cutting fire wood. The left one is ash and the right one is cherry.
	Here are two pieces of cherry and the ash shaft cut out. A piece of ash is mounted in the sled ready to be blocked out on the bandsaw. This piece will form the edges of the paddle blade.
	I will run this piece through the bandsaw three times to get 3 flat edges. The fourth edge will get cut off later.
	I will run this piece through the jointer to get 2 good adjacent edges. The third edge will come off when I saw the piece to width on the saw.
	Here the thickness planer reduces the thickness, I am thinking they only need to be about 1/2 inches thick.
	Here the pieces are cut to length on the tablesaw.
