Eastern White Cedar is a lot different than Western Red Cedar, in my experience...

So true. I have two GPs from WRC, and both are pretty tough paddles. I made a short, quasi-Euro paddle out of what I think was labeled EWC, and it's almost like balsa in weight and softness. Here in the mid-Atlantic of the USA, I think there's some confusion between Atlantic white cedar, Northern white cedar, and Eastern white cedar.
