Traditional Paddles
Ash Northwood (SMBSA) TRADITION! And for very good reason. Solid Select Northern White Ash is the wood of choice for this most versatile of paddles. Glide through the ghost breath at dawn or pick your way down a rocky river, make for shore in a high wind or slip down a twisty creek, the Sawyer Northwood brings you and your canoe together like no other single paddle. Full palm grip, whippy 1"x 1 1/8"oval shaft; large 7 1/2" x 25" slim, silent blade. Wood Duck wax/oil finish. Avg. Wt. 29 oz. Ash/Cherry Northwood (SMBSY) An elegant version of the laminated Northwood, this model mates two of the most preferred woods for traditional paddles: White Ash for strength and suppleness; Cherry for beauty, contrast and light weight. A silent but conspicuously handsome paddle. Laminated full palm grip, 1"x 1 1/8"oval ash shaft; 7 1/2" x 25" laminated ash/cherry blade. Wood Ducktm wax/oil finish. Avg. Wt. 26 oz Northwood (SMBS) Want your Northwood even lighter? With a White ash shaft for strength and that wonderful flex; a basswood blade and grip for light swing weight and a very affordable price, the Sawyer Laminated Northwood is the answer. Laminated full palm grip, 1"x 1 1/8"oval ash shaft; 7 1/2" x 25" laminated ash/basswood blade. Wood Ducktm wax/oil finish. Avg. Wt. 26 oz. Greenland (KMBG) This entire paddle is shaft! Or is it all blade? Well, it’s both. This native Greenland design, like it’s North American Beavertail canoe cousin, evolved over hundreds of years into a simple, yet very sophisticated tool. The Greenland style of paddling utilizes the stronger muscles of the torso and allows the hands to grip any part of the paddle. Hold it centered for all day forward motion. Slip it off center for quartering into a wind. Grip it near one end for extended paddle rolls. Young dog or old, this paddle will teach you some new tricks. Shaft Dim: 1 1/4" x 1 1/2" oval. Blades 3 1/2" x 32" - 37" depending on length. Basswood, Black walnut, Ponderosa pine; Wood Ducktm wax/oil finish.
