2-piece Greenland Paddle Nanook2 bases on the shape and size of a traditional west-Greenland paddle. It has mild shoulders on transition from loom (shaft) to blades. Blade tips are round and as wide as the blade. Our standard material is western red cedar (Thuja plicata) lightweight and beautiful wood, which generally does not rot. Pine strips on the loom is our trade-mark which adds stiffness to our paddles. As a finish, we oil the paddles with tungoil. Wooden paddle treated with oil feels very natural and warm in your hands. Good grip is guaranteed, even when the paddle is wet.
