Default :Lady's Shoe:

Ive carved several boots and my wife asked me,carve me a high heel ladys shoe. I carved it from mahogany which is harder but I knew it would hold the cuts better than a light wood plus it will last forever.

Old boots are easy,but I didnt know really what a ladys shoe really looked like but seen my wife wear them is all. I could have went to her closet and got one but ratter try on my own.{hard headed}duhh~

Its 3/8 inches wide X 1 5/8inches tall.A tall pump high heel.

Your thoughts or comments are always welcome.

Thanks' Forrest

Hey Mark my good Mass friend! Im gald you liked this ladys shoe cause my wife loved it which is a good thing but toooooooooooo Im sure you know that your wife and any woman loves shoes and has a closet full of them!! Which means I will be carving some more for her..............wish she wore flip-flopps,wouldnt be too hard to carve one of them plus less wood.

Thanks Mark for your always nice thoughts about my work like this high heel shoe.

Forrest

Gosh Forrest, Your wife really has tiny feet. Think how many of these it is going to take to fill up her closet. Maybe you can build her a tiny closet to put them in,

Nice job, Tom

Good one Forrest! I've gotta agree with Tom, make a tiny shoe closet and fill it with a bunch of em. Beautiful piece of wood too.
