Tomorrow will be a day of skiving. In England the word skiving can also mean goofing off, but tomorrow I won’t be using that definition — I’ll be thinning all the edges of this leather with a very sharp knife so there will be no bumps or ridges where they join.
I'm a custom cowboy boot maker. I own a business, Sorrell Custom Boots, and I create bespoke cowboy boots using vintage machinery and hand tools. I also own www.sorrellnotionsandfindings.com, a company that specializes in tools, supplies, and leather for the boot and shoe making trade.
