I tell my students that the Boot Maker’s Prayer is, “Please match, please match.” In this case it was answered.

Skiving all these tiny little fingers was not quite the joyful experience you might be imagining.

I photographed these boots this morning and titled them “Always Late.”

Here’s a link to purchase my last fitting class on Saturday, November 7 in Pendleton, Oregon.

For now I will leave you to imagine the boot top I’m working on and the client’s profession.

I’m looking forward to visiting Charlotte, North Carolina in October!

I just booked tickets for the Pendleton Leather Trade Show. I’ll be teaching an inlay/overlay class and also a class on fitting lasts. I’ll post links soon.

Here’s a link to “It’s a Boot Life” for August. It’s a Boot Life

I had to pause and admire this pair for a moment. I’m very pleased with them!
