Default Need shoe blank
I would like to find some interesting old shoe blanks. Does anyone know where I might find these? I would also take old shoe blank roughouts.

sea chips are you talking about several blanks of the same shape shoe

the kind of shoe's?
like the one in your avitar? or different kinds?


that price on chipping away precut shoe blank $17.95 is utterly ridiculous, if you just want a blank cutout, but you do get a plastic model to referance.... and lots of instructions

the ones ive seen used as a key chain fob are 1x1x3/4" or so

i could cut out 20 for that price out of 2 practice sticks....
theres got to be someone that sells just cutouts. for a reasonable price

Can't help you with blanks, but if you are interested here's a site that has a collection of shoe, boot etc patterns for carving.
Patterns
No connection just happened to find it while surfing one day.
