This handcrafted Rosewood Long Cross Stake Paddle offers an unmistakable silhouette with refined, precise shaping. Measuring 16 inches long and 8 inches at its widest point, it is carved in a way that removes a significant amount of material from the arms and center, creating a balanced and comfortably maneuverable piece. At 1 inch thick with an estimated weight of about 17.5 ounces, this paddle combines the density of rosewood with an efficient, lightweight form factor.
Rosewood is known for its rich coloration, smooth texture, and striking natural grain movement. Its deep reddish-brown tones and fine pores create an elegant, high-end appearance that stands out without dyes or artificial enhancements. The finish is plant-based, 0% VOC, food-contact safe, and designed to penetrate the wood rather than coat it, leaving a smooth, natural feel that highlights rosewood’s inherent beauty.
This paddle’s cross silhouette gives it an undeniably dramatic presence—well suited for those who enjoy a touch of irreverent religious play, or for anyone who likes the idea of owning an impact implement that looks like it could moonlight as a vampire-slaying stake. Whether displayed or used, it is equal parts unique, functional, and eye-catching.
