Mornin' all,
Do any of you guys have any experience with this prop? Is the performance comparable to other woodies, cause I've never heard of Ted Hendrickson.
Thanks,

I believe Ted Hendricks use to be AKA "Ted's Props." He was located in Concrete Washington. He retired a few years ago from prop production. My old Van's information from the 1990's listed Ted's Props as a source for propellers. I have a friend that has one on his RV4. It's beautiful and he is quite happy.

I have one on my RV4. The prop is very well made with about twice the laminations of other wood props. The one I have is more of a climb prop attached to a 160hp 0-320.

I lived in Wa State and been around RV's for years. Ted's was the prop maker of choice back in the day 80's, 90's. There where a whole host of other makers and many are not around to day, just from retirement. These props are hand made. If you can find a nice one, they are good well made props. I believe they have a urethane leading edge that may need referb from time to time, but I am sure you can find someone to do that.
