| These are a few examples of the exotic woods used for my paddles. I pride myself in striving to make the most beautiful pieces from my wood, not the highest volume. I never, EVER use artificial stains, finishes, and colorants on my paddles. Every piece is hand cut, shaped, and sanded smooth, in five separate sanding processes, to ensure a beautiful and satiny finish. EVERY paddle is then oiled daily, for over a week, with a special blend of food-grade natural oils. This allows complete and deep penetration of the oil into the wood. In my last step, each piece is hand-buffed to a deep and natural shine. The natural variations in the wood--grain, knots, and burls--inherent in any wooden item and should be considered part of the unique characteristics of each piece. There is a link below to view different paddles made from them, and custom orders are always welcome! |
