When you’re raised in northern Minnesota, often you’re practically born with a canoe paddle in your hand. Evolving from a DIY project when some friends took it upon themselves to build a cedar-strip canoe inspired by their community’s paddling heritage, Sanborn Canoe Co. crafts a collection of wooden paddles. Included in the collection is a vibrantly hued range of artisan-painted panels inspired by the wilderness of Minnesota, while the brand also recently expanded its craftsmanship to clothing and camping kits.
