: Rounded was the original plan. The trick was the tips went on after
: most of the carving was done (paddle was coming out a little too
: short). Tips turned out to be easy to add even in that
: situation, so I figured if I don't like it I can swap them out,
: but 1" tips didn't lend themselves to rounding.

Hi Stephen,
Rounding wouldn't need a big tip, just rounding the corners. Even a half inch radius rounding makes a huge difference in noise.
