Just got a chance to look as the shoe on my computer. A very nice shoe and I think the heels are pretty sweet.
Gary, please take this as a compliment, your hands look like you have shod a lot of horses and made quite a few horseshoes in your days!
Alex do you want as the specimen shape as yours were fullering starts and ends nail placement and heels as yours?
Do as you do and feel is best. I'm looking for forging and nail fit. Would like the tapered edge of the ground surface to follow mine. Other than that, heels, fullering and nail placement is up too the forger. Only thing to take into account is the outside two nails need to be as far forward as you dare, to reduce pressure in the area which is fusing (The lateral cartilage which is most commonly affected in these cases on draft types)
Alex, I must say it has been a fun shoe to make. Looks like you got your work cut out in the judging department. I hope a few more get posted as well.
It's a nice shoe, a lot of features but not a hard shoe to make. Yes I think I have and I agree hope there's a few more
