Title: Brain tanned buffalo side-seam moccasins
Post by: Peatreg on July 03, 2013, 04:29:31 pm

I just finished up this pair of winter moccasins.  The moccasins are brain tanned buffalo with the fur in, side-seam and completely hand sewn using artificial sinew.  I had intended them for myself but forgot to take into consideration the thickness of the fur and consequently they were too narrow for my feet.  I adapted them to fit my girlfriends feet.  I had intended a pair of winter moccs about calf-height that I could tie up and wear during deer hunting, guess I'll have to make a pair that actually fits me next time!!  Still, I'm pleased with the way that they turned out.
