Don't own a longbox but now want one,,have a question about maybe the style or culture of long boxes particularly the writing on paddles
If you have a short box and somebody writes on the paddle it's considered un tradeable or ruined all the writing is on the bottom of call.
On a longbox you have this beautiful nice sleek paddle and it looks like somebody went crazy on it with a Sharpe pen in most instances you would call this graffiti. Not trying to demean or insult anybody's work in fact just the opposite you've crafted this beautiful work of art and function paddle and then it gets handwritten on why not put the writing on the bottom like a shortbox, just wondering why a lot of the longbox culture does this it seems like you obscure a beautiful piece of woodworking. Like to hear some opinions,background.
