: I found out, after a 3/4 finished paddle, that my table is not flat. It's a
: greenland paddle, and it's a little over 1/2" off of straight.

: Should I finish it? Has anybody done that and noticed it in use? All I have
: is a little more planing, if you want to know what it does thats reason
: enough for me to carry on.

I saw this photo on the So Cal Builders page that was posted. The paddle looks to have quite an intentional bend - either that or the paddler is really applying some power!!

Hope you are able to use your paddle.
