Woodland winter moccasins
Dane:
Thanks Mackenzie. Guess we were both having a bad day? Your comments really didnt bother me much, actually, and the written word sometimes can give the wrong impression, something we can all be wary of.
There was this show a while back on History Channel about what happens if humans vanish overnight. Cars, books, buildings, bridges, all of it will pretty much vanish, and there will be little trace of us within a thousand years.
In a way, it is too bad more inorganic stuff was used by the ancients, so we would have a better archeology record of our ancestors.

That is a long time, M-P. Wearing them will tell me what I need to know regarding wear and tear. Thanks for the posting.

Dane;
Here is a pair of smoked, braintanned moose Mocassins I bought in Manitoba last year. The other pair I made about 10 years ago. I copied a Seminole pattern and used deer hide with the hair on. I've hunted in and wore them quite a bit in ten years, look at the sole. In the winter I put a sheep fur liner made by Dr. Scholl's in them.

Now I know what to make with the Hair On Hide I have in the Garage...too soft for Quivers...would make a good pair of Moc's...
Dane:
Mullet, those are excellent looking footgear. Thanks for showing them. The low fur out mocs are fantastic. Sometime this summer, I'm getting some brain tan buckskin, and will make some more mocs. Nothing else is like the real stuff.
