I have always liked Shaw & Tenney's paddles as shown at http://www.shawandtenney.com/ but the article at http://www.outsideonline.com/outdoo...and-Painted-Wooden-Canoe-Paddles-Sanborn.html indicates that the Sanborn Canoe Company at http://sanborncanoe.com/ has some interesting ones as well. I have no financial interests in either organization.
