- I'm an avid canoeist and general "outdoorsy type" guy with a bit of an artistic side. Started this hobby of making custom canoe paddles after my disappointing experience with most commercial brands. This site documents various styles of single blade canoe paddles I've made or researched as well as other canoe related info I've stumbled across on my internet wanderings. Kindly note that this site is a non-commercial enterprise and no paddles are for sale. Information provided is for educational use and purposes only. Hope you enjoy your visit.

It appears that the paddle color matches the standing man's skin trousers/leggings. I believe that many older red paints were rather unstable. The paddles might not have been originally red.
Oops... I was a bit backwards on my comment. Many colors were unstable and in this case, it may have been the red that wasn't (there is a bright red sash). But, the color mixed with the red to make a tan/brown might have faded.
