Hey there I'm Mutt! Welcome to my little corner of the inner webs and my little side hustle. I've wandered amongst this community for going on thirty... ohh wait make that over thirty years... now you know why I call it OLD dog paddles! Way back then I was enthusiastic young Sir... you're doing the math I can tell yes there's a story there message me in private and maybe I'll tell it to you. Through the years I've been on the top, i've been on the bottom, and I've been in the middle. There were years that I'd be at the bars or the baths every week, and there were years that I seemed to disappear into vanilla obscurity entirely, but the community and its people keep drawing me back, so this is my way of giving a little something to the community.

Back then I was kind of broke... ohh wait some things haven't changed much. When I went looking for gear at the few shops we had in town I found cookie cutter mass produced often poor quality stuff made in a far off sweatshop. The other thing a lot of it had in common was a price tag that wasn't really reflective of what you were getting. So wanting Something to gift to my equally young and equally enthusiastic sub at the time, I headed out to the garage picked up a chunk of board and well the rest is history as they say. He loved that simple wooden paddle; he showed it off. The guys he showed it to, well they liked it too. Over the three decades since I've had people from the top and people from the bottom see one of my creations and ask can you make me one? This is my little way of saying yes, yes I will make you one. Take a scroll through these pages and if you see something you'd like shoot off an email and I'll get back to you and we'll see if we can get it put into your hands. If you see something that's more of an inspiration for something particular you would like, well then shoot me a message let's talk maybe you can get just what you want. I make you a promise, all of the gear that I showcase here has been shaped, sanded, and finished by my own hands. Even if I use the same pattern, no two are quite exactly alike. Each piece that comes from me will be uniquely yours.
