(I was inspired and named this after a dear friend, who disliked paddles. Till she encountered mine!). This paddle is nice and dainty but packs a punch!! silky smooth so very good for sensory play as well as impact play, very well balanced.
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 have this paddle in a dark wenge, its beautiful to hold and use, and simple to maintain the luster of the wood. I cannot recommend Fetish Woodcraft enough
