Buckskin moccasins


Recommended Posts

I'm really happy with how these turned out since this was my first attempt tanning a deer hide and working with buckskin. I found a leather pattern for moccasins in a craft store and copied it using the buckskin I made for the moccasins.

Long process from harvest (12/23/12 in Westchester) to my first final product but it was enjoyable even though it held some frustration at times. post-327-0-40609100-1374897017_thumb.jpg

Thanks guys. I may look for a shoe insert(dr sholls or something) to deal with the foot sweat -something with some backbone may also help keep Docs thorns from sticking me every step. Borrowing the pattern from that kit was real helpful - now I need to make some modifications for smaller sizes since my daughter ( a new believer who doubted me!) is demanding a pair since she did some of the softening!
