Greenland paddles with a twist?

I have been making paddles ever since I finished my Cape Charles. Now that a double is on the way I made a greenland-style paddle for my wife, as I understand them to be a little easier on the arms. It's a little heavy, I used fir.

I like it. But I am used to a feathered paddle. Would it be blasphemy to put a feather into a greenland-type blade?
