Redtail Black Walnut Redtail Canoe Paddle Handcrafted in Ontario from one of North America's most prized hardwoods, this canoe paddle turns heads on the water before you even take a stroke. Black walnut is a genuinely special wood choice. Its deep, rich brown tones have a warmth that no synthetic material can replicate, and paddlers who carry one tend to get asked about it at every put-in. But this isn't just a pretty paddle. Walnut's natural density gives it outstanding shock resistance, so it handles rocky rivers and unexpected strikes without complaint. It's stiff where it needs to be and forgiving where it counts. Redtail Paddle Co. has been handcrafting canoe paddles in Millbrook, Ontario since 1992, and the attention to detail shows. Each paddle is shaped by hand, which means you're getting a finished product that a craftsperson actually cared about, not something that came off a factory line. For recreational paddlers who want a canoe paddle that feels as good as it looks and holds up over years of Canadian paddling, black walnut is hard to beat.
