Next are Greenland style paddles with bone edges and tips to strengthen the wood against the ice. Each paddle is custom made for the owner. The length of the paddle is as high as the person can reach with the fingers curled over, the loom (shaft) is the size of the opening created when middle finger tip touches thumb tip, the blade width is the size of the person's hand creating a wide "C" with the curved fingers stretched, and the length of the loom is the width of the person's hands as they clear the hips.

Greenland kayaks are made to the specific size of the owner's body. Twice the arm spread and three times the person's height for length and one fist wider on each side of the hips for width.
