 Jeff, I've only built a couple with walnut paddles. They turned out nice. I'm sure there's several other paddles that will work also. Sorry I couldn't be of more help man.

 Red Cedar would probably be the first I would try out.. I have a long box made from Sitka with a Red Cedar lid and it works well!
