I’ve been cutting and skiving all day

All the inlay/overlay pieces are cut and skived for this pair of boots. You’ll notice that the pink pieces are carefully cut to their final shape and the other bits of leather are amorphous blobs. That’s because the pink pieces are overlay and they will lay on top of the boot top leather, while the other elements are inlay and their final shape will be determined by the contours of the hole I cut into the boot top leather.
