Description
This wood and leather inlay paddle is built around contrast in both material and response.
One face is smooth solid hardwood, shaped for balance, control, and a clean strike. The other is inset with thick 8–9 oz vegetable-tanned leather, adding a slightly warmer, more yielding feel on contact. Together, the two surfaces give the paddle a broader range of character without losing the clarity and presence of a classic hardwood build.
The leather inlay also creates a strong visual counterpoint to the natural grain of the wood, giving the piece a clean, structured look that feels as considered as it is functional.
Both faces offer generous space for engraving, making this an especially strong choice for names, symbols, or a fully custom design.
