This is older but wanted to have it on my projects list. This was a learning process. Thank you to Jordan for putting this on. It is no wonder that Jordan is the caliber carver he is if he started out carving shoes! Also, he was right, “smaller IS harder”. I have learned a lot doing this challenge. I was afraid that the black paint would hide the details but they are still visible. All in all, it could have turned out better but I am happy enough with it.
Thanks again Jordan,

I almost didn’t click on this project because I thought it was just a picture of a shoe. Wow! Great job carving the shoe. It looks very realistic.

Come On Mike. I mean. REALLY!! This IS a shoe that you just painted a Beige Color for the one picture, to try and fool us.
Either that or you’re One Hell Of A Wood Carver!! NICE JOB!!!
What’s next..or do we just have to wait for the “Other Shoe To Drop” (Groan).

OK Rick, I had to add another pic just for you. It is dark but I think you can make it out. Also, I almost have the next one done but its no shoe. I will let Jordan do the shoes from now on.

Great carving. I don’t usually comment on carving projects, but this caught me off guard. Like Brandon, I thought someone put a picture of their shoe on here, and I wasn’t going to click on the picture at all. Looks like the real thing from here. Good job.
What’s next..or do we just have to wait for the “Other Shoe To Drop” – That was funny Rick!

Mike,
That’s an awfully large pencil in your last picture ;-)
Can we really trust you that it’s carved? Every little detail of the leather even shows up. You’re giving Jordan a run for his money (but you can’t run in just one shoe)!

Everyone: Thank you for your kind words. But the real work was carving that 12” pencil!HA HA
Jordan: Thank you and I dont think I have ever had a Teacher say that to me. I think I feel a tear welling up. Thanks again.
Mike.
