Title: my latest mocs
Post by: searcher on January 13, 2013, 12:18:38 pm

thought maybe some of you might be interested in these

they are a variation on a patter i use for kneehigh mocs

the body is elkskin the soles are veg tanned cowhide and the footbed is pigskin
then they are painted with my own mixture of natural beeswax and neetsfoot oil

i then heat them in the oven for a while (helps the leather absorb the wax)

Those are awesome.  Did you wet-form the soles like that?

sooo....????? Can you make something up (to the best of your recollection) that might look like what you are wearing on your feet?  I am looking at a couple of different patterns I found on line for a new project to work on in the Museum here in Yosemite.
