Following a “recycle & reuse” special on BH&G, I decided to turn a leftover piece of decking timber into a play paddle.

The big thing about decking timber is that while one side is flat, the other is grooved (to allow for water drainage). This has made for a visually interesting/appealing toy. Also, because it’s hardwood, it’s surprising heavy, and will sting like a b**ch!

Stained with decking oil (as you do) and finished with beeswax for a smooth, splinter-free finish.
