The Catalyst is a new sustainable canoe paddle. Handcrafted from a combination of basswood, roasted basswood, red alder, and maple remnants from Bending Branches first-quality paddles, they're giving new life to what might have gone to waste. Not only is this paddle sparking change in their company as they make sustainable practices a priority, Bending Branches hope the Catalyst sparks change in your own community. $5 from every paddle purchased will be donated to American Rivers non-profit. The construction of the wood remnants means each blade layout is slightly unique.
