Power Carving Boots & Shoes

(NOTE: Postage discounted when purchasing multiple books in an order.)

About the book: With 250 images and 12 patterns, carve a wooden boot through illustrated step-by-step instructions. From sketching an idea to carving a stylized boot using found wood, this new DIY book guides you in preparing a pattern and cutting a blank using a bandsaw for the basic parts of a lace-up leather boot -- the vamp, the toe, and the sole. Using a rotary power tool fitted with a flex-shaft hand piece, carving burrs, and sanding drums, learn how to give the boot a distinctive character for creating women's high-heel boots, hiking boots, casual slip-on boots, and brogues. Chapters include wood selection, sketching the pattern, blank preparation, and decorating and assembling the boot. A gallery of completed projects offers inspiration for your own creative ideas. For carvers of all skill levels.

This book is in new condition but has a crease on the rear cover (see photo).

In order to keep postage costs under control, I ship all books USPS Media Mail. I will do combined shipping for all books purchased within the same order. The first (i.e., heaviest) book ships for the calculated price. All other books in the combined shipment will ship for an additional $1 each. Because Media Mail is limited to printed materials, postage for tool purchases will be calculated separately.

I am new to this system. If the program overcharges you for postage, I will gladly refund the difference.

Please feel free to send me a note if you have any questions. I have been a hand tool collector and user for over 30 years.

Thanks for looking at my item.
