Or... if your going to put glass over the paddle end-
you could leave a small lip of glass around the edge, soak some 3/16 or 1/4 poly braid rope in epoxy, lay rope around edge, glass other side and trim/fair/fill.

I've never done it but it's something I think I remember from Gil Gilpatrick's book, seemed reasonable enough.
