Passing down an art/craft/livelihood

At the Core Sound Decoy Carvers Guild in Harkers Island the elders are working to engage the next generation in the carving of decoy ducks as has been done here for generations. Their museum was pretty cool. We saw samples of the rough hewn, working decoys actually used for hunting and decorative pieces with such fine detail that they look more like taxidermy samples than carvings. Beautiful; and samples of an amazing dedication to the craft.
