I have made several Greenland paddles, two of  western red cedar that I use
all the time(  the last several years). Two weeks ago I finally decided to
build a storm paddle...after all the discussion of late. I used pine on this
first  paddle and make it a full 3 !/2 inches wide versus 3 3/16 for my
regular paddles.....after a couple of paddles it feels very "BIG" width
wise. Question....has anyone  ever tried a  narrower width(3 1/16)  storm
paddle?
