Maori Waka Hoe Paddle - Stand Optional or Wall Hung

This Maori Waka Hoe Paddle can be purchased on its own, or with a stand.

Because of the beautifully carved hole in the handle, it could also be wall hung.

Made from Mahogany, it makes a great birthday, 21st, business or corporate gift, and can be purchased on a stand, which in turn can be engraved.

Being hand carved, expect the odd minor imperfection, which only adds to the paddle's character.

The waka paddle is carved on one side with three tiki, the Maori good luck symbol, and has wheku (face) carved into the top of the handle and each side of the hole.  The eyes are made from native New Zealand paua (abalone) shell. 

For a 21st gift or corporate gift, you could present the Waka Hoe on a stand, and we can get the stand engraved for an additional fee.   The engraving will be on a gold plaque, or you can choose to have laser engraving into the wood, or paua engraving, also into the wood. The back of the hoe is rounded, so cannot be engraved.  The stand is made from South Island pine.
