The Willits brothers made their own paddles to propel their canoes. They were machine made of Sitka spruce and were amazingly consistent in size, shape, and quality. To accommodate machining they offered only three paddle lengths - 4 1/2, 5, and 5 1/2 feet. I can't reproduce the exact machining that they executed, but I can make a hand-carved version. Because I'm not tied to a machine template I can make any length paddle you desire. Each paddle is finished to perfection with multiple coats of spar varnish. These paddles are must-haves for owners of Willits canoes. Come to think of it, they are a great paddle for anyone!
