With the exception of a few Red Oak paddles, all the paddles in this group are made of Eastern White Oak. Eastern White Oak was a signature wood used in mission style oak furniture by Gustav Stickley in the Craftsman style. White oak is used extensively in Japanese martial arts for some weapons such as bokken and jo. It is valued for its density, strength, and resiliency.
From 2000 to 2007, PaddleDaddy built a large Craftsman style house in Portland, Oregon. These paddles are made from wood left over from the interior trim.
