I'll keep that in mind. My paddle is a rather loose grained whitish cedar. I know a few people who don't coat theirs, but it just doesn't seem right that you can use it in the water all the time without coating it with something. I am planning on coating it with epoxy, but I'll probably take it out a few more times to see what I think about leaving it unfinished. I thought about just covering the tips of the blades to give them a little protection, but that sounds like a bad idea now.
