Product Description
Who said rainbows were limited to seven colours? This stunning 16 colour rock maple creation is the ultimate rope paddle. It's big, heavy, and thuddy. When it comes to impact it provides a clear contrast between the timber face and the rope face with the rope adding to the feeling of thuddiness and also creating a quieter impact without the slap of wood on skin.
All 16 pieces of rope are dyed jute rope. The rope is easily removable by loosening two metal screws in the blade with the supplied allen key.
You can personalise the paddle by fitting your own rope if you wish. Most types of natural and synthetic rope will work, so long as you can comfortably fit the rope into an 8mm hole with some form of whipping/binding fitted to the ends of the rope to stop it fraying. (The paddle comes with heat shrink tubing fitted to the rope but traditional thread whipping and electrical tape also work well).
The paddle has a brass handle hole and details, and a silky smooth gloss polyurethane varnish finish.
This unique style of rope paddle was developed by Miss Emm in late 2021 in response to a commission request for a paddle with one side of the blade covered in rope and the other side resembling a traditional wooden paddle.
