This handcrafted Honey Locust Butterfly Paddle combines an eye-catching silhouette with the strength and durability of a dense, high-quality hardwood. Shaped into a sweeping butterfly design, it spans 9 inches at its widest point and measures 13 inches in overall length, providing a wide striking surface with excellent balance. At 1 inch thick and an estimated 26 ounces, this paddle carries substantial weight for a deep, resonant impact profile.
Honey locust is known for its toughness, stability, and warm golden-brown coloration. Its grain often features subtle ribbons, gentle contrast, and a natural sheen that becomes especially vivid when finished properly. This piece is treated with a plant-based, 0% VOC, food-contact-safe finish. Because it penetrates the wood rather than forming a plastic film, it produces a smooth, tactile surface that enhances the grain and preserves the organic feel of the hardwood.
