Very cool.. good job!

Leave it to an artist to find something of unique beauty in a piece of wood that probably would have ended up in a burn pile! Well, done, Roman.

Your boot was so impressive I looked at all your projects and your skill level is very impressive. I’ll date myself too because I remember when Lum & Abner was one of my favorite comic strips. But for those who are too young to remember, here’s a photo of Mammy Yokum that I found on her face book page.

Thanks for the photo of Mammy, Hal. I see I have an error in my boots. I thought the buttons were on the outside of the boot instead of the inside as shown in the picture. I do like her striped hose!
Thank you for your comments.

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

Ouch!!! I woul deffenately wear a pair the next time I am going out. :)

Outstanding work. You’ve honored your old friend well.

Good job. Mammy would be proud of that boot.

This is one of my favorites of yours. I grew up in North Carolina and Lil Abner was a huge favorite of mine. I could totally relate to old time custom and women running things. If’n you wanted to eat….......;)............
