Kurt,

Cool to see how many different angles you have used in building the paddles. I built mine with an 8 degree angle but considered a 14 degree as my Bending Branches Bent Shaft is 14 degrees and I happen to like how it feels. But, the angle looked a bit severe and the amount of shaft that would attach to the paddle looked like it might be a bit weak. But, having seen your different versions, now feel like I have to make another batch of 14 degree paddles...

BTW, I glassed both front and back and finished weight is 14.3 oz... Still, 10 oz lighter than my commercial Bending Branches... WOW!
