Boot making class

In spite of the look on Robert’s face, both of my current students really are excited about my cowboy boot making class. 🙂 They’re doing a great job!

Treeing the boots

I finally got these boots finished and on the trees this afternoon. We’re having damp weather so they’ll need to stay on the trees until Thursday morning to make sure they’re completely dry.

Frustration

I almost finished this pair too, but the last is stuck in there. I sprayed water down in the boot under the last. The pegs will swell up and become brittle as they dry. Sometimes that makes pulling the last easier. If that doesn’t work I’ll have to thread a cable through the last to pull it out.
