Whether you are boiling a big pot of crawfish, shrimp, or crabs, you’re going to need a wooden paddle to stir the pot! These paddles are cut, shaped, and crafted by hand from reclaimed wood. Once the shape takes place,  a touch of whimsy is added by wood-burning a crawfish, crab, or other decorative images onto the paddle.

No two paddles are alike, and each can be custom-crafted for your needs. Lengths vary slightly. These make excellent gifts!

Each paddle can be made either for decorative purposes only (hanging on the wall, displayed on a shelf, etc.) or for actually using while cooking. This matters because a different oil finish will be used, depending upon its usage. If the paddle will be used for cooking, a food-grade oil will be used to finish the wood, which won’t produce as shiny a finish, but it will be safe to cook with. If you only want to use the paddle as art, then a shinier polyurethane finish will be applied to enhance the shine and beauty of the wood. Decorative paddles should not be used for cooking.

If you chose Custom for any decoration or text, please use the Order Notes box on the checkout page to indicate what you would like to have burned onto the paddle.  You can also have a few words included, and the paddle can have both sides decorated. If you forget to include a note, or if there may be a problem with providing what you want, I will email you to discuss.

If a paddle is already in stock, it will ship quickly (within 1 to 2 days, generally). Otherwise, it can take a week or so to make the paddle and ship it.
