About Our Paddles

Our paddles are made from carefully selected domestic and exotic hardwoods, each piece inspected for straightness of grain and free of knots.  We don’t mass produce our paddles, that means that each one has been hand crafted. 

Paddlers of all skill levels, from the weekend adventurer to the seasoned outdoorsman will appreciate the fine craftsmanship of a Maskwa Paddle starting with the grip.  Our grips are carefully shaped to fit the palm of the hand and have no sharp edges or high spots that can irritate the hand and cause blisters.  The blades are thinned to a very fine edge allowing for a very silent paddle stroke that will enable you sneak up on unsuspecting wildlife for that photo of a lifetime.  To seal out the elements each paddle is finished with a natural varnish oil made of polymerized linseed oil and modified pine resin that produces a durable semi-gloss finish.  This finish is non-toxic and contains no Petroleum distillates or derivatives and no heavy metal driers.
