These Boots were made for What?



I had Silkens old boots.. boy these things had seen some life.. if they could only talk.. what adventures they could tell about.... I fixed them up for her.. put a new heel on them.. and sewed up and patched what I could.. they still had alot of life in them..

But she asked for a new pair as well... and.. so as I sat there and thought of Silken, I could not just make her a pair of boots. I had to MAKE her a pair of BOOTS.. one the when she wore them she felt well.. like rockin a wagon... :grins: Yeah I know she is pretty old.. but heck.. she deserves something rocking..

So.. I took a light hide. and dye it red.. yes I said red.. and let it dry.. then softened it up with a good coating of bosk grease. Over the hand or so. I worked that grease into the leather.. til it was workable... and then using her old pair as a pattern.. I made her these awesome. boots that go right to her knees...red.. plain red... thats all she needed... yep.. just some red boots.
