In Response To: Paddle: Greenland Paddle Grain (Dan Price)

If the board is stable and straight...with the grain running either horizontal or vertical...not with an arc (cupped)...I would use it. My first paddle, built 43 years ago, was made from a clear 1X6 yellow pine board. Very strong, very durable. Your next one should be better.
