    After seeing Chris and Michael's entries, I'm going artistic. I think that's my only chance.

    I'm going with a square toed hind with extended heels and jar calks. Should have it done this weekend. I thought the 1 X 3/8 by 13 would be a challenging section. Methinks that is why he picked it.

    3/8 x 1 is my favorite section for making shoes. Most horse owners around here would crap a brick if you nailed it on though. Lol

    I can't figure out how to assemble this over glorified letter opener. My first attempt was utterly fubar'd trying to fit it all together. I'm not exactly willing to draw enough to make a 2 piece tsuka. I may return to my previous idea, or an Arab toe weight.

    All done but the jar caulks. Company coming this afternoon. My social director has been working overtime lately. I'll try to get finished up and take pictures tomorrow afternoon. The pictures might be the hard part.
