Some Cowboy Boots

[Iowa Carver]

This is a couple gifts for my buddies who work in our livestock insurance department. My very first carving was a cowboy boot and I hope you can see a little improvement in these from that first one which is actually in my avatar Fun projects and I have 2 more sets of these to do. Anyway, thanks for looking!

Corey, they look great and I like the grain. What wood did you use? It does not look like basswood, at least to me.

[Iowa Carver]

Thanks for the kind words Jim.

Frank, thanks and they are basswood. Finished with blo with a touch of stain added that did bring out the grain.

Man, I wore out a pair like them. A Boot was also my first carving many years ago. It's a toothpick holder now. I stumbled into "Smokey Mountain Woodcarvers" in Tennessee, bought a knife and some wood and been carving ever since. They are awesome people to deal with. One thig about it, You'll be able to give your buddies 'the-boot'.

Corey,

The boot was my first project too. Looks like you did a fine job on those pairs. Did you stain them?

Dianna they are finished with oil and a touch of stain in it. Then light coat of lacquer.

Thanks Dianna and Pracuss!
