Caleb Davis made his first wooden paddle by hand at the age of 10. He opened his boat and paddle-making business more than 22 years ago and has been teaching the disappearing craft ever since. In this video he conducts a paddle-making workshop at the Adirondack Museum in Blue Mountain Lake, one of the finest regional museums in the country.
