B,
Do not use cypress. Send it to me for proper desposal! Just kidding.
It will depend on the grain and weight of the stock how "good" the paddle will be. Staight tight grain is great. Very light piece of stock is wonderfull. But you decide the right feel for your paddle. I would carve it up anyhoot, if it's to heavy it will be a nice show piece and back up!

My $.02,
Danny
