With all the buzz around wooden paddles I thought I would share something I just came across. Dude down in Oregon is making wood helmets.

That is really cool. Must be the same Dan Coyle who did a bunch of 90's exploratory boating in Oregon, like:

Jeff Snyder, founder of squirt boating and progenitor of modern playboating has been wearing a wooden helmet for years. Along with a wooden pfd/breastplate. I'm sure his came first.

These look nice. I wonder how strong they are?
