Moccasins for a friend

[dhaverstick]

I finished these moccasins today for my good friend, Brian Peterson. They are way too plain for my tastes but that's what he wanted so that's what I made him. I just hope they fit him well. I made them out of 8 ounce bison leather and used New Zealand red deer for the trim.

Too plain?!! Those look great! Nice job!!

 

[dakotaduner]

Wow, now that is a skill, beautiful work

 

[TxxAgg]

Wow. Really cool

 

[fmyth]

Wow you are a true craftsman! I know a guy in Washington that makes boots. Always wanted a pair but couldn't afford them. Now that I can afford them he is not taking on any new customers. Are you accepting orders?

 

[Billy Goat]

I think those look great. Everyone has different tastes but I really like the look of those.

 

[ledflight]

Very cool, share you shop info!

 

[Ddog]

Nice work, Darren!

Thanks, all, for the kind words! Since I sew everything up by hand, each project takes me a while. Right now I have a decent backlog of work so I am not taking any orders at this time.

in the future will you be taking orders? I really like those, plain is what i'm looking for. those look great! it's hard to find a plain and practical moc

I would be interested in a pair as well. Please let me know if you start taking orders. Thanks!

Work of art !

 

[Mister Sir]

Great work!

 

[JoeG]

Very nice.

 

[Jdoc]

Very nice, would love a pair someday for stalking rather than socks!

 

[Akwoodchuck]

Cool!

 

[Where's Bruce?]

Very nice but can they be made without laces? How much do they weight. In the past I just carried a pair of thick socks with insoles inside that would replace my boots for the final 100 yards (when necessary).

 

[Muckamuck4]

Those are awesome! You are very talented. I'd love a pair too whenever you begin taking order again.

I just got a bunch of leather scraps from my cobbler to make some for me and the girlfriend. I'm inspired! Mine are going to look shoes that were composted... might have to rethink that. Thanks for posting those.
