You're a good man to have on our team ;-) I haven't accumulated enough evidence to be convinced of the [East Greenland = un-shouldered] versus [West Greenland = shouldered] distinction that Chuck made in his article. From what Harvey said in his book, the paddle story is (if possible) more baffling than the kayak one - with even more 'personal preference' allowed. I haven't read Brian Nystrom's book - it's on my list. I had originally believed that the GP (as we somewhat know it today) was the product of 10,000 years of product development. I was intrigued to read Harvey's conclusion that there has been very major development in the past 400 and even 200 years. The old dog has learnt some now tricks. On your web page, www.rollordrown.com/kayak/woodgp.html would you consider adding an indication as to whether the 86" is span plus fingertip-cubit or span plus wrist-cubit. I am never sure which anthropomorphic recommendation people are working to - and it can make 8" difference.
