: Started this paddle about 2 weeks ago. It is 4" wide instead
: of the accepted 3". Western red cedar glued up, with curly
: maple edges. I plan on putting bias cut 4 oz glass on the blade
: edges and tip and 9 oz tape run lengthwise.

There really is no "accepted" width of the blades on a GP, it's whatever width you can easily span with your fingers, bigger hands can use wider blades.
