{"product_id":"custom-wood-burned-cypress-gumbo-oars-boil-paddles","title":"Custom Wood-Burned Cypress Gumbo Oars \u0026 Boil Paddles","description":"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.\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003eWhen 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.\u003cbr\u003eAUTHENTIC LOUISIANA CYPRESS GUMBO OARS \u0026amp; SEAFOOD BOIL PADDLES\u003cbr\u003eHandcrafted in South Louisiana, our heavy-duty Gumbo Oars and Boiling Paddles are shaped from genuine cypress and reclaimed 1970s cypress boards.
