A native of Wexford, Paul has a wealth of experience in the hurl making business. Maher Handmade Hurls was originally founded in 1983, although the Maher family had been making hurls for years before that. Paul's passion for woodwork and design is a direct result of exposure at an early age from his father who also handcrafted hurls. This is more than just a job for Paul; it's a way of life

Paul's reputation is such that he was featured by the Discovery Channel who profiled his work on their show "How it's Made". Paul holds great pride that his hurls have been used by some of the country's top inter-county hurlers, from many different counties.
