Here are some pictures of some boot tops that Peter Main has been carving, and one of the his belt from the Sheridan show. The boot tops were carved on 2-3 oz leather. The two small buds in the photo will be inlayed into each vamp. You will see the extension of the stems on the two front tops. All coloring is with spirit dyes.

Info on the belt...

it is made from cowhide and fine goatskin. There are two layers of 2-3oz leather with a lighter weight for the plugs (these are the raised sections on both ends, and center back). All of this is bound in goatskin (including covered rivets), folding over all edges...the joins are barely visible as the goat has been skived to a feather edge. The overall coloring was dyed by spray, with the edges and raised sections colored by brush.

Absolutely stunning. Peter you never cease to amaze.

Clay, you should ask him to send you pictures of the LSU boots he did so you can post them.

Marlon, I dont seem to have that picture, but if you have pictures, go ahead and add them here. Peter did say he would try and start posting his new pictures to the forum so everyone here can see them. Until then, I'll add a few more pictures that I have of some of his work.
