Peter works on a canoe paddle made from curly maple, using a crooked knife as a wood scraper. He then discusses the design and function of the shaving horse he is using to secure the paddle while he works.
Peter gives a detailed tutorial on how to make a moccasin using his neck knife, a triangular awl, a needle and waxed Irish linen. He punctuates the lesson with stories and wee bits of history.
