Is draw important on a pasted paddle?
After finishing my first paddle strop, I was reminded of just how long it takes me to work in leather to give it a heavy draw. I want to make some more paddles, and I'm all for doing the work if it has a benefit, but to be honest I have no clue if it is good or bad to give a pasted paddle a heavy draw. Thus far, my experience has only been with hardwood veneered 1/2" plywood pasted with crox, and solid maple pasted with crox. Not really enough to go by as far as making a decision.
There are two pastes I plan on using - CrOx and CeOx (at least to try it). For these two pastes, should I aim for a paddle with a light draw, a heavy draw, or pretty much zero draw (don't work the leather at all).
