FAQs

Where are your paddles made?

Our paddles are made right here in Canada and are then hand painted and designed by artisan Vicky Hare. Sourced from Grey Owl Paddles in Cambridge, ON.

Can I use my paddle in the water?

These paddles are for purely decorative purposes. Do not use them in the water.

Are the paddles varnished?

They are varnished with an outdoor varnish which has UV protection.
Maintenance every few years is suggested i.e re-varnish

Are hangers varnished?

Our hangers are raw so you can paint them whatever colour you'd like. We recommend matching your wall colour to give that floating look.

Can I return a custom paddle?

Because of the nature of these items, unless they arrive damaged or defective, we do not accept returns.

Can you add a custom note (gift tag) to my paddle?

Yes we can put a personalized note on the tag. Let us know in your order notes what you'd like it to say.

I have a special request for my order. How can I submit that?

Once you place your order, send us a message via our contact form with your order number and request. Please note that certain design changes or size changes may incur additional charges. You will be invoiced additionally for those charges.

What are the wait times for a custom paddle?

Wait time can be anywhere between 2 to 6 weeks, depending on time of year and order size. Once your order has shipped you'll receive a tracking number

What company do you used to ship?

Canada Post unless requested otherwise.
International customers are responsible for all import and custom fees. We are not able to provide an estimate for import costs.

Every Artisan Paddle in my shop is painted by hand, making each one truly unique.

Handmade items naturally carry slight variations, which add to their charm and
individuality. While I take great care in my process, no two paddles will ever be identical. Wood itself
has natural quirks—knots, and grain patterns that make each piece
one of a kind. These details aren’t flaws; they’re part of the paddle’s story.
