Why don't you just post where you live and see if you can get together with some paddlers with GPs. Most GP users have many. If you try one, you will immediately know that it is not rocket science and... people have all kinds of small variations on GPs to suit their liking.

I tried one years back and just made my first from memory and I now have I think 7 maybe 8. It's interesting I have one favorite and that's what happens. You can duplicate it with a cad cutter and it still won't be as nice because sometimes the wood weight is just perfect.
