: has anybody ever feathered a greenland paddle by steaming the shaft and
: twisting it? good or bad idea?
In the Little Kayak Books there is a Greenland paddle with a twist to it that does not look like it twisted on its own, but rather was made that way. Interestingly enough, it belonged to Derek Hutchinson, who gave it to John Brand, (the author of the little kayak books)
