    IMG_20131106_173134.jpg these are the first shoes i've made in 7-8 years. I know my creases are off which means my nail holes are too far to the inside. Other than that I would like ya'lls comments. I have recently decided to start doin slot more forge work and start practicing for my afa certification.
    p.s. they were turned from 11.5" of 3/8x1 stock cause thats what I had laying around.

    Did you fuller in the straight or turn and then fuller? I seem to get a better nail line when I turn the branch and then fuller. I would like the shape better if your heels were tucked in just a little. Not bad for being out of practice. It will come back to you in a few more sets.

    Turned and then fullered. The right branch on the right shoe was the first one I fullered and punched. I got slightly better as I did the others.
