Pells where used to sliding pizza's into wood stoves to cook. And last but not least one would be a huge circular shape with a squat handle, like the link below.

My personal opinion would be to go standard like school paddle rectangular that's just for pain factor tho all are fine if your just looking for random fun.

Heck wood is fairly cheap do em all lol.

Status: offline 		i like my school-style paddles.  always thought i'd like one with "ouch" engraved backwards on it, so it would be legible in a mirror.

Status: offline 		I found a gorgeous piece of popular wood with wonderful natural green staining running all through it, and a gorgeous piece of pine. The pine has very little knots in it or anything. Though the ends are a tiny bit warped the middle should be perfect for cutting out the paddles.
