Need help with paddle dimensions for home build

Inspired by a recent post, I decided to build a paddle for my Wood Duck 10.  Based on the CLC info, I know it should be 240mm long.  But I need to know the size of the paddle blades and the thickness of the dowel.

 Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Rich,

 I built mine from the New Kayak Shop book.  They has all the exact dimensions you need to build two diffrent types.  My dowel was one inch diameter.  You can also google homemade paddles may also give you free diagrams.  Good Luck!
