Bring a piece of Louisiana history to your kitchen or camp with our heritage reclaimed cypress gumbo oars and seafood boil paddles. Ranging from 2 to 3 feet in length, these oversized wooden stirrers are much more than kitchen tools—they are heirloom-quality conversation pieces deeply rooted in Southern bayou culture. The story behind these paddles is what truly makes them spectacular. Each paddle is meticulously shaped by Cody and me using reclaimed nutria drying boards and 150-year-old Louisiana cypress. The wood was originally harvested from massive, six-foot-tall cypress knees cut back in 1970. For years, my grandpa used these exact boards to stretch and dry nutria pelts for his trapping business. After sitting untouched in an old truck for decades, we decided to rescue this beautiful, historic wood and give it a second life as authentic Cajun paddles. When your customers look closely at these paddles, they will see the rustic character of the wood, including the original small holes left behind by the old nails used during the pelting process. To preserve this rugged aesthetic while ensuring premium quality, every single paddle is handcrafted at Pitres Handcrafted entirely by hand. We absolutely never use CNC machines or automated lasers in our woodworking. AUTHENTIC LOUISIANA CYPRESS GUMBO OARS & SEAFOOD BOIL PADDLES Handcrafted in South Louisiana, our heavy-duty Gumbo Oars and Boiling Paddles are shaped from genuine cypress and reclaimed 1970s cypress boards. Available in 2 ft, 3 ft, and 3.5 ft lengths, these paddles are built for stirring big pots of gumbo, jambalaya, and crawfish boils—while doubling as one-of-a-kind camp and kitchen wall decor.
WHAT EACH OPTION MEANS (HOW TO ORDER): Every design is wood-burned 100% by hand (never a laser or machine), making each paddle a true piece of functional artisan artwork. Simply pick your size (2 ft, 3 ft, or 3.5 ft) and choose from our 4 style options:
1. PLAIN (NO BURNING): Left completely natural with no wood-burning so the rich Louisiana cypress grain and historic wood character stand out on their own.
2. OUR LOGO (INCLUDES LOUISIANA BAYOU THEMES!): Our best-value hand-burned option! Includes our signature brand mark along with classic Louisiana bayou artwork—such as crawfish, alligators, pelicans, cypress trees, and seafood boil designs. After you order, we will message you photos of the designs we currently have in stock so you can pick your favorites!
3. YOUR LOGO (CUSTOM STORE OR COMPANY LOGO): Want your own branding on your paddles? Select this option and send us your logo in Faire messages after ordering. We will meticulously hand-burn your exact store or business logo onto every paddle.
4. CUSTOM — WRITE MESSAGE OR IDEA: We can hand-burn any custom design based around your city, your state, local sports teams, camp names, or custom wording! Select this option and message us your idea after checkout (or choose from the unique custom pieces we currently have on hand).
