No one in my personal experience makes better hand-made, traditional blade, solid wood paddles than Bruce Smith, already recommended above.
I have owned with pleasure several laminated wood Mitchell paddles over the past 40+ years—paddles for whitewater canoe, cruising canoe, seakayak, straight shaft, bent shaft and double bent shaft. Mitchell has made paddles under rebranded names for Mad River Canoe, Bell Canoe, and other canoe companies.

Brad Gillespie has been making state-of-the-art bent shaft marathon racing and outrigger laminated wood paddles for decades. I have the first, and perhaps only, straight shaft paddle Brad ever made—the Gillespie Free—which he made to my custom specifications in 2010.

Sawyer has been making laminated canoe paddles for over 50 years. My first Sawyer was a big lollipop paddle I bought in Connecticut and stored in the first class coat closet an airplane back to my home in San Jose, California, even though I was a coach passenger. (How airline times have changed, for the worse). I love my custom Sawyer single bend Manta with its double scoop dihedral power face. Here is a video of Sawyer's current line of very attractive canoe paddles:
A lightweight, reasonably priced line of wood paddles, Camp Paddles which became Foxworx Paddles, unfortunately is now out of business after 50+ years.
After buying and discarding heavy wood clubs from Old Town and clunky plastic/aluminum paddles from Carlisle, Mohawk and Iliad, I almost always bought all of my wood (and carbon) paddles directly from the manufacturers, all of whom were willing to reasonably customize the blades, shafts and/or grips to my specifications. Mitchell was especially responsive and inexpensive in refurbishing wooden whitewater paddles in the 1980's and 1990's. (Don't know about today.)
