BOOT HILL! A collection of boots

Roman “YOU” have way to much time on your hands. That piece must have taken your entire lunch break

-- Lizardhead---Yeah but it's a dry heat--Tempe, Az

Hey Lizard, I think he’s got a wee team of @#$%^& out the back somewhere :)))))
Roman, Do you ever go the bed???

I like the way you use the live edge on the top of the boot… also including the cracks and such. Do you ever use the bark for the sole? Nice collection!

-- I just got done cutting three boards and all four of them were too short. (true story)

These are very nice and the wood looks great.

-- If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away. Henry David Thoreau

Hi Spontaneous, Yes I have tried cutting the wood to show bark on the sole but as I shape the heel and round out the sole portions of the bark are lost. Whatever portion of the bark remains does add to the ‘organic’ nature of the piece.
Lizard and Peteg, The work you see has accumulated over several years. You know the projects you’ve started and lost interest in, and finally you brush off the dust, get inspired again and complete at a later date. The evolutionary process in wood carving takes up time so I try to keep the projects as simple as possible. Now when it comes to a commission, deadlines are raised and the project moves quickly to a completion date. An end point is mandated!
Thanks for your comments,

-- Roman:... there are no mistakes, just opportunities for a design change!

Awesome little boots. I did a little one out of basswood, not as cool looking as yours.
