Thumbs up First time try ~ COWGIRL BOOT with SPUR

Hi Gang ( Still A Newbie )

Below much to my surprise is my first cowgirl boot. I'm doing it for my friends wife who's into horses.

She got two of her own.

Lets remember guys this is a caricature of a cowboy/girl boot. And like I said before its my FIRST.

The spur is make out of metal, spray painted and dotted with with on the spurs.

I hope to perfect the boot in the future in many ways.

Below you'll see the slow progression of the carving.

Thanks guys for all you help in the past and hopefully in the coming future
