Anyone can glue wooden pieces to another piece piece of wood. Even if it doesn't look like the best thing in the world, it shows they put effort into it.

Wow thanks for showing me these paddles. They're beautiful, i actually haven't made mine yet. I started making frames and boxes for some of my sisters, and other random crafts for my Big. I got the paint for my paddle but one of the colors was wrong, so i need to adjust the color and get started. sylviasushi27 your paddle is so detailed, you've inspired me to take my time so it's really as nice as i can make it.

My school the little made a paddle for the big, and the pledge class made for the NME and President. The NME assistant got a Teddy Bear plaque.

We also did a mini paddle exchange over one winter break.

This is one I made for the paddle exchange:

I made this for a sister that I met here on GC (I think) who never had a little:

Here are my paddles:



The three big ones, the one in the middle is from my little, the other two are when I was NME.

Well since other guys did it... :P

The color doesn't come through b/c I took the pictures on my cell phone but you can still see details. Someone took better pictures but has yet to post them.

For my Big Bro









ETA: Apparently swords are popular with guys? lol We each have one in our posts!

We have a couple more swords as well. Including one that was designed to look a little bit like the Theta Chi badge. It was a giant theta with two swords crossed behind it.

Two other people in my family have done swords (that I know of). I only saw one, though but it was AWESOME. It was 100% hand carved and was a sword going vertically through our letters.

pshsx1 - why would you ever be embarrassed to post that paddle?! It's insane!

Yeah did you cut that yourself? If so it must have been a pain and a half to do so.
