Brian has been woodworking and building paddles for over 50 years. He has repaired and refurbished cedar strip canoes, canvas canoes, all-wood boats, and sailing dinghies. His high-quality paddles are popular with canoeing enthusiasts and collectors alike. Recently, Brian has been using hardwoods like oak, maple, walnut, bloodwood, yellow heartwood, padauk and wenge to create a variety of functional pieces. They are just beautiful!
