was really sweating this one.......
 
my gift is no surprise as I needed the foot off pappy in order to make up my gift. Actually this started out as I wanted some knee high brain tanned mocs and I thought they would be cool.... well then couldnt figure out what to make for the person I drew and decided that pappy had way too many bows from what I heard..... so anyway... Im still not much closer to having mocs for me but I guess that is what christmas is all about huh? So I got pappy to send me drawings of his feet and let him know what I was gonna make....

But like I said I was sweating it. Never did much tanning before besides a couple little critters earlier this year.  Was really stressin' about being able to make a buffalo tan work. Well it seems to have come out ok so far. Only got 1/2 the hide done but think I am finished with that 1/2 and can actually start on the mocs. I have no Idea how they will hold up to use but I am hopeful... and I guess there is only one way to find out.

Here is how it looks so far..... Merry christmas Pappy... well hopefully anyway..... If I cant make it work well then will send you something else that will be a surprise..... Later wade

Nice looking hide.   Doing this once or twice makes you understand why good leather costs what it does!!

Mike, I'm the same way. I've been done with mine for a month now, but now I am starting to feel like it might not be enough. I already added to it once. Maybe I should just send it out so I'll stop thinking about it. :-\
