At Shaw & Tenney, every paddle begins as carefully selected lumber, chosen for its grain, strength, and natural balance. The lumber is then shaped by hand in our Maine workshop using techniques passed down for generations.

Each paddle is carved from solid wood, allowing the material itself to guide the final form, flex, and feel. The result is a paddle that creates a direct connection between paddler and water, where every stroke feels deliberate and alive.

Built for use, our paddles carry the warmth, durability, and character that only well-worked wood can provide. They are an honest tool made to move quietly and confidently through your home waters.
