The Salem Paddle
African Padauk · 4×16 inches · Natural Finish
Cut from African Padauk — a wood that burns red without flame — the Salem Paddle speaks softly but carries history in every grain. Its tone shifts from ember to rust as light moves across the blade, echoing the passage from accusation to absolution.
The lines are deliberate. Balanced weight, clean shoulders, and a taper that invites precision over brutality. It was shaped not to punish, but to remind — of how easily power can be misused when fear governs instead of truth.
The handle rests with quiet command, polished to satin by hand until it feels almost ceremonial. There is no embellishment because none is needed; the wood itself tells the story — of endurance, of silence, of those who stood accused simply for existing beyond comfort.
This is not a theatrical piece.
It’s an heirloom of consequence — a discipline tool forged as both artifact and lesson.
A reminder that control without conscience is chaos.
