Traditional woods for paddles (the Ojibwe word is abwi, plural abwiin) were ash or maple. Bird's eye maple makes a very attractive finished product. Interestingly, a woman's paddle was of a specific style, 4 feet 10 inches long with a blade 22 inches long and 4.25 inches wide; men's paddles were of a slightly different shape, longer and heavier.
