Cowboy boot pattern

[Tom Taylor]

Found a detailed outline on how to carve a cowboy boot,can find the link now, but will add it later. This one is about 85% done. The guy that posted had included a bunch of stitching and the even the nails in the heel. I do not know if I will go to that much detail or not but here are some pictures.

Looking for something if the exist like a small salt/peper shaker that can be added.
Sort of inserted into the top!

if you are going to try to use these as sal/pepper shakers, maybe a drilled cork top & cut to fit the boot top. I'd be careful because it looks fairly thin at the top. By the way - very nice job. Maybe you could use a cut down cigar tube, plug the cutt-off end & drill holes in the screw on cap sticking out the top of the boot (so you can screw the cap on & off to re-fill as needed). You'll have to fill the voids with something around the tube to keep it secure & strengthen the boot(s). Should work IMHO - maybe
