Default Cowboy Boot Carving
Here is my first pair of carved boots. The other picture is of the carved woodgrain base. I think it took longer than the boots.

Gotta stop carving and start painting. Yuck.

Fantastic Steve, those look great. Did you use Lynns pattern on these? The base is really nice as well. How you going to finish them?

Great boots!

I don't hate painting – I just get paranoid that after working so hard on the carving I may screw it up with the paint.
