Sorry John...this is a build it yourself site. The exact place I would expect to see this sort of discussion. Building your own kayak , paddle etc.

Best Wishes

PS.....many things are possiable

Wooden Greenland paddles are a good 'fit' with the diy style. It's fun to paddle a boat I've made, and making the paddle fit right in with that idea. Though people have made some very nice wood diy 'Euro' style paddles, it's pretty tough to match the performance of the top grade carbon blades, if you want a paddle with a bent shaft and a light blade core like a Werner Cyprus. I made a few steps in that direction, and gave up- it's probably a more difficult task than building a kayak.
