The 1ft name is nominal, not an exact 12-inch height.

Choose Your Material

Baltic Birch Plywood — Best Paint / Strongest
Premium-grade plywood with excellent strength and durability. Ideal for painting or staining, and our most robust paddle option.

Oak Plywood — Best Stain / Natural Grain
Features natural oak grain that looks especially good stained. Its plywood construction keeps it lightweight while remaining strong.

MDF — Craft Material
An exceptionally smooth face for painting. Cut edges may be less smooth than the face, but proper sanding, priming, and painting can produce a smooth finish.

Greek Letter Add-On

Select Add Greek Letters (+$3) to include approximately 2-inch double-stack Greek letters, supplied loose, unpainted, and unassembled for you to attach after finishing your paddle.

In the required field, type your Greek letters in full, for example Sigma Phi Omega. If you do not need Greek letters, select No Greek Letters and enter NO GREEK LETTERS in that field.

Built-In Hanging Hole

Each 1ft traditional paddle already has a drilled hanging hole. No separate rear-hanger option is needed.

Bulk Packages

Choose 1, 3, 5, 10, or 20 paddles. Bulk savings apply to the selected paddle and wood material: 3 paddles save 1%, 5 save 2%, 10 save 3%, and 20 save 5%.

Greek letters remain $3 per paddle and are not discounted in bulk packages.

Processing Time

Choose Casual Processing time 1 ~ 7 business days at the standard price, or select an expedited processing option at checkout. Expedited options are calculated as a percentage of the base product price; carrier transit time is separate.

What You Receive

One unfinished traditional paddle blank in your selected material. Greek letters are included only when Add Greek Letters (+$3) is selected. Pieces arrive unpainted, unattached, and unassembled. Adhesive and other decorations are not included.

Finishing & Lettering

Paint or stain before attaching lettering and decorations. Let finishes dry fully, then use an adhesive appropriate for your chosen material. Letter widths vary by character and font, so contact us before ordering if you need help fitting lettering into a specific area.

Natural wood grain varies. These are unfinished craft and display items, not painted finished paddles.
