DESCRIPTION
Exotic Marblewood Paddle
The marblewood used in this paddle is a fairly heavy wood, which adds to the overall weight and impact of the paddle. The tenderize style pattern on the paddle has been kept to a minimum, giving you the freedom to create your own pattern or size according to your preference. Additionally, the fact that this paddle is a one-piece carving ensures that there are no sticking or falling off bits, making it a very durable and reliable paddle for long-term use.
Apart from its functional aspects, the sleek and polished design of this paddle also makes it a work of art that can be displayed or used for its intended purpose. The smooth and glossy finish adds to the elegance and sophistication of the design, making it a perfect addition to any collection. This paddle would also make an ideal gift for someone who appreciates the beauty and functionality of handcrafted paddles.
Finally, the rear of the paddle is designed to be comfortable to hold and use, with a velvety and undisturbed texture that adds to the overall aesthetic of the piece.
To begin the process, the boards are sanded down to a high finish before any carving takes place. With over 30 years of experience, I then hand-finish each paddle after carving, meticulously following the grain to achieve the best possible finish. Four coats of food-safe wax are applied and buffed to highlight the intricate details in the grain, resulting in a natural, frictionless finish that is effortless to clean with a damp cloth. I will provide a small tin and instructions on how to keep this heavyweight in top condition for many years to come, as it deserves. Additionally, a cotton bag is included for storage.
