my latest mocs
« 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?

Very nice Searcher. Wish I could make a pair as nice. Would love to trade for a pair if your game.
