*jaw drop* These are simply incredible boots. And for your FIRST pair? Just amazing... I wish I owned a pair of boots like that!!

I also wish there were schools or classes for this kind of thing here (well, actually, for ANY form of leatherworking!!), as its a craft I'd love to learn if I was able to!

Very nice work. Big House Daddy sells a book on boot making among lots of other stuff. I have not seen or read it just threw it out there for the info.

Sorry it took me so long to notice your post. Great looking pair of boots.

I took Carl's class in June of 2006. It was fun and I learned alot. I went through the class with John and Alese who stayed on to help Carl with Trailtown Custom Boots. Shortly after completing the class, I drifted off into Custom Gun Leather where I remain today.

I was looking over my boot making supplys last week, I just might have to start another pair. Thanks for the inspiration.

A very classy finnish on the soles. I would have never had time to do that when I was repairing boots.

Thanks!

Randy, if you do another pair of boots, put up pictures!

Great pair of boots. Wow. I'm still trying to build my first pair. I have the 11D last and have to get of course a lot of other items.

Lasting pliers, stand, etc.

I was able to buy a finishing stand that has all the polishing brushes and sander wheels. thats a start. I hope I can go to Carls school this spring or summer, but I dont know if I can get off work.

Keep up the great work.
