Dig This :: Authentic Canoe Paddle Necklaces

lil'Badger Paddle Key Chains

We've seen the paddle inspired jewelry out there - and we dig it! But what we dig even more is the inspiration paddle themed jewelry has on us when we are not able to get out on the water. Fiona feels that looking at her lil'paddle key chain during a trip to the big city helps to remind her of a way of life that we cherish. So now we have taken that inspiration to another level with our authentic canoe paddle necklaces (and key chains).

Made from an actual slice from a real wood canoe paddle, our necklaces and keychains are all crafted by hand in the heart of cottage country (Muskoka, Canada). Most are sliced from the shaft area (and into the neck and/or grip of the paddle as well). And... just like a real Badger Paddle, these paddle slices/pendants come as oiled, varnished, or even as our trademark WaterColours finish!

Paddle slices in progress of becoming pendants.

We sand each little slice by hand (or paw).

Crafted by hand, each paddle slice pendant is unique.

Authentic Canoe Paddle Necklaces can be found at AO.

Each necklace cord is tied with a double fisherman's knot (to allow for various sizing) and some also include an extra wood finished bead (we will have glass beads accents by AdR Beads coming soon too!).

COMING SOON: AdR Glass Bead Accents
AdR Glass Beads are hand made in Perth by Amy deRidder
(She is an autism mom too - like Fiona!)

When is a Badger not a Badger?

Nature isn't perfect and neither are we.

Sometimes Badger Paddles comes across some imperfections in a piece of wood that, while can affect the overall strength of the paddle, are still alright to paddle with.  Or a slip of the "paw" and other human errors gives us some "Badger Blems" to deal with.

Each paddle that falls into this category will be tagged with their specific information and, usually as a rule, are either left blank (no logo) or they have an UPSIDE DOWN Badger Paddles' PAW branded onto the blade.

Badger Blems, Badger Seconds and even some Prototypes are sometimes available.

Contact Badger & Son in Toronto to see what we have kicking around... but only if you dig deals!!!
