Description
This D has 21 holes. Paddles approximate length 32.8cm handle length 12.3cm width 10cm thickness 1.5cm weighs approximately 250g. Hand carved shaped handle inner core Maple with cherry, Maple and Walnut handle slips.
A lovely no air resistance beautiful paddle. Impact is a heavy thump leading to a warm sting. The skin gets sucked up in the holes to leave small round marks, it has an ouch to it. Well balanced and silky smooth, great for sensory play too.
This paddle has been treated with at least 3 layers of Danish oil, 1st coat is very heavy. This is to seal the timber and create a barrier its then left to thoroughly dry, while another 2/3 light coats are applied. Before the last coat I rub over with 0000 grade wire wool and apply a very thin coat and it’s left to dry naturally.

I like to call this one Ophelia because by God you feel her! The passion, care and attention to detail put into this beautiful piece is priceless. She looks inviting, feels incredible and leaves a beautiful pattern behind.
