awnova Report post Posted January 4, 2016 Hello fellow leather workers! In the past year I have had two saddle makers recommend making a hardwood paddle for stamping. They each indicating the paddle needed to be made from hardwood and balanced to fit my hand and strenghth. Unfortunately neither one had their preferred paddle handy to show me. Have any of you used such a paddle instead of a maul or hammer? I would really appreciate it if someone would detail the dimensions of a paddle so i cold try one. Thanks!
