Grey Owl 'Plume' Canoe Paddle

The Grey Owl 'Plume' Paddle is a rugged and inexpensive laminated, traditional style paddle for bow, stern or solo use.

Traditional paddles tend to longer, more slender blades and serve for a long time due to their overall resilience. Originally carved from one piece of wood. In traditional paddle making Cedar and basswood were prized because of their light weight while ash, maple and cherry would be chosen for strength and durability. Cherry was especially preferred for its resistance to rot and warping along while also being relatively light in weight.
