Leatherimages Report post Posted November 14, 2010 (edited) This is the kind of thing that keeps me doing this. These two pair of boots are the fourth pair each for this husband and wife. They aren't fancy, but they are affirming. (A guy needs that sometimes.) Besides, they were the first boots after my new hip. The ladies boots are French Calf with tooled collars and pulls. In addition, for chucks and grins, I used the same rope design on the sole bottom. The silver belt tips on the pulls were ordered especially for this design. The Burgandy Ostrich boots were done with Ostrich belly for the tops, createing a half and half effect. The stitch pattern around the tops gives just a touch of style.

builderofstuff Report post Posted November 15, 2010 I think it would be really cool to be able to do this, but coming up with all the tools needed, not to mention finding either the information or someone to teach you is what keeps me from it.

rickybobby Report post Posted November 16, 2010 Paul, Nice job on the boots. The finish and proportions are beautiful. Your enjoyment shows in your work. Thanks for posting them, they are really nice! Rick p.s. Thanks for the tips on wood pegs! A little water base glue on the end works great! R.J.

jinrui73 Report post Posted November 17, 2010 Those are beautiful! Do you teach? I'm gonna be moving back to Phoenix soon and I have family in Cottonwood. I would love to be able to stop by sometime and maybe get a lesson or two! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
