This handcrafted oblong paddle is made from Padauk, a dense African hardwood celebrated for its bold, naturally vibrant orange-red coloration. Over time, Padauk deepens into rich reddish-brown tones, giving each piece a dynamic and evolving character. Its high density and excellent shock resistance make it particularly well-suited for impact work, offering a solid, resonant thud with enough rigidity to maintain precision.
The wide surface area of this paddle enhances its thuddy profile, while the edges can be used for deeper, more concentrated sensations. Padauk’s fine, open grain allows for a smooth finish that feels clean and comfortable in hand. With its substantial weight and visually striking coloration, this piece stands out both in appearance and performance. Each paddle is shaped and finished by hand without CNC machinery, making it truly one-of-a-kind.
