I wood-burn unique designs onto canoe and kayak paddles.
Canoe and Kayak decks are also my 'canvases'.
In fact, I will put a design on anything that is wood!

Each commissioned design is the result of consultation, research, and creative development and is based on the interests, experiences, passions or cultural heritage of the recipient.

Heritage Paddle Design purchasers are individuals or groups seeking a unique gift for a special person, to celebrate occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, marriages, graduations, contributions, retirements, achievements…. or "just because".

Each commission fits the 'gift seekers' requirements for:

• A memorable gift
• An expression of sentiment and appreciation
• A fit for their time frame and budget requirements
• A beautiful paddle

These beautiful paddles are meant to be used.

Why Heritage Designs?


"Heritage”

“Tradition or items handed down to us from our ancestors.”
Webster's New World Dictionary

Our heritage is bequeathed to us by our ancestors and culture.

Sometimes it brings us special objects that we treasure and then pass on to our descendants.

There is something profound in holding a tool that is a legacy from those who have been on this earth before us.

If you are the recipient of one of my Heritage Paddle Designs:

• No one in the world has a paddle like yours
• You can use it
• With proper care, this paddle will last your lifetime and then some
• The designs will be as beautiful in 30 or 60 years (or more) as they are the day you received the paddle
• This paddle becomes part of your legacy to pass on to the next generation
