: COULD THIS BE USED FOR THE LOOM OF A GREENLAND PADDLE? BEEN
: WONDERING THAT FOR A WHILE.

It could, but there are problems because of the taper. You could only have a short section hollow.

It hardly seems worth the effort. My first greenland paddle weighs less than 600 grams or 20 oz. How light do you need it to be?
