These two-foot paddles are expertly carved from red cedar by Kwakwa̱ka̱ʼwakw artist Ross Henderson. Enrich your decor with one of these paddles. Select from Bear, Raven and Wolf.

Ross Henderson was born in Alert Bay, BC and now resides in Port Hardy. Henderson is a woodcarver who first began carving as a teenager alongside family and friends. He took up carving as a hobby initially, inspired by the work of his great-grandfather, Gideon Whonnock. In 2005, he began to carve for a living and is now a full-time carver. 

Growing up in the culturally rich area of Northern Vancouver Island, Henderson was surrounded by artistic inspiration. Over the years, since first taking up the carving knife, he has worked with other carvers, such as his brother, Jonathan Henderson, Sean Whonnock and Trever Hunt.
