One of my last small pieces of Amur Cherry found in my wood box. Decided to go the length of the log which had at best a 4 inch diameter. Hence the toe and heel are rather small and out of proportion with the height. But as Nancy Sinatra would say, these boots are made for walkin’!
One regret, I used an orang stain for the inner part of the boot and I lost it. The stain over powered the natural finish on the outer surface. Live and learn. Should have tested the stain on some scrap wood. Dimensions on this boot are 5 1/2 in. tall, heel to toe 3 1/2 in.
Enjoy!

Wouldn’t worry about the inner being darker sort of looks like a “shadow” effect :)

Hi Chad, I prefer seasoned dry wood. Have tried wet wood and the twisting is too much and unpredictable as far as my boots are concerned. Thanks for your interest.

That is a really cute boot, Roman; you might have a hard time finding someone with such a small foot! LOL! Great work!

Like all of your boots (and other work) this is full of character. I think the inside color totally ‘works’. Gotta love the bark on the Amur, too. Keep ‘kickin’.
