Fire doesn't destroy everything. Sometimes it only reveals what the wood carried all along.
This is larch that survived a sawmill fire. Where the flame took too much — cracks, gaps, old wounds in the grain — black epoxy resin fills the loss. The rest of the wood was scorched by open flame, by hand, layer after layer, until the grain pattern rose to the surface like veins under skin.
The bell
At the end of the handle, a small metal bell. It isn't decoration. It's a signal — she hears it before she feels the strike. The moment of tension between sound and impact belongs to her.
The grip
Wrapped in black lambskin, finished with wax. A sure, warm hold — a contrast to the raw, burned wood it carries.
Three sizes, one character
Every paddle in the Morana's Ember line shares the same soul — only the scale of impact changes.
The Small carries a 10 cm striking surface on a 20 cm handle, for a total length of 30 cm (11.8") — sharp, controlled, precise.
The Medium carries a 20 cm striking surface on the same 20 cm handle, for a total length of 40 cm (15.7") — the balance point between sting and weight.
The Large carries a 40 cm striking surface on the same 20 cm handle, for a total length of 60 cm (23.6") — full reach, full weight, full presence.
