Yesterday, I walked over to my dad's woodworking shop, to use the band saw to cut out some plexiglass circles for my tool cabinet, and I saw these laying on a planer next to the bandsaw, which looks like my dad was playing around with making rough propellor cuts:

I've watched quite a few videos on making propellors... but my dad is more of a sit in the lazy boy for hours and read kind of reader.

Are there any excellent good books floating around on the mathematics and methods used in good propellor design?

Something I could buy off Amazon, and just leave lying around...

He use to make the most awesome sandwiched layered boat paddles... with the idea to sell them through big chains... wanted to upload a picture of one but couldn't find one that survived the years.
