Welcome to Woodrage Paddles!
"Our Mission back in 1999, after seeing so many poorly made spanking paddles at a high price. Was to make the best, highest quality wooden spanking paddles at an affordable price. Putting my 20+ years of professional wood working experience to use, Woodrage paddles was born!"
The Woodrage story:
The first few months were very unusual and confusing. It all started after I quit a job I just couldn't do any more. That job involved making canoe paddles of all things. All day long it was canoe paddle after canoe paddle. Hot, dusty, dangerous and low pay with no benefits. One day the boss hit a co-worker on the behind with a fly swatter. (Not cool I thought) Then I was hit and as you can imagine having that happen at a job you didn't like very much. Little did I know that incident would impact my life and the lives of thousands of others beyond measure.
Sitting in a friends basement, unemployed looking for a way to get back at the company that wronged me. We thought about starting a new canoe paddle company. Looked on the internet and found an auction site. Looked up paddles and all these small poorly made things came up. Had no idea what they were. Looked more closely and found that they were spanking paddles. I had heard of them, but didn't know much about them. I told my friend "Hell I can do better then that!" so I made one and listed it. $10.....$15......$45!. We couldn't believe it. After awhile people started to email me asking for more and for custom paddles. I was happy to oblige. Soon the requests were so many that I thought I better start making these things for a living!
Spent the next 6 months teaching myself HTML web design and reading about the BDSM lifestyle. Asked questions about paddles and started learning about the whole fetish scene. It was fascinating and scary at times, but always interesting. Well the HTML was boring and time consuming, but I muddled through and figured it out. Built the web site on my own and just kept my fingers crossed. Didn't take long before the orders started to come in. Many, many! happy customers were made. Soon word of mouth got around and slowly Woodrage paddles has grown from two guys in a basement sharing an old green office chair, to a company that can do just about anything anyone asks. Not just spanking paddles, but all woodworking projects, web sites, computer repair you name it we do it. Large corporations have asked for our help and we always get them the answers they need. It's been a crazy ride, but a fun one.
Making these paddles over the years has opened many doors for me. They have introduced me to some amazing people and some of the most craziest people you can imagine. One thing about all of them was that they were free. Free of inhibitions, free of what people thought about them and free of the fear of trying something new.
Can a spanking paddle really set you free? I can't answer that for you, but sometimes you need to push the envelope a little to grow as a person. Go against what others say is "normal". Have fun, experiment with a partner, find out what your made of and just be free!
