Each of our traditional wooden canoe paddles are crafted from a single piece of wood. It takes longer and requires a skilled craftsman, but nothing will feel better in your hands or on the water. Our shafts are oval-shaped, the way they should be to fit your hand, and our grips are unvarnished to prevent blisters. The blades on our paddles are very thin to provide excellent flex. Our commitment to making our paddles handcrafted, one at a time, makes each one an heirloom to enjoy for a lifetime. All paddles can be custom engraved.
