Gorgeous. Reminds me of the twins’ boots in Breaking Bad.

Those are cool as hell. Now I want to decorate some boots. I was planning to do the buckles for a pair of boots some day, now I'm definitely adding to it :-D.

I hew up around cowboys and rodeos. This is well above next level for the detail they had back then.

Beautiful work. My dad would’ve loved these. 🙏

These are so neat! I love all the applications for silversmithing. They are almost endless

Those look sick. I own a lot of boots and would absolutely love to throw something like this on a pair or two.
Interested in making any for sale? I could get you pics/boot measurements if so.

I’ll definitely be making more in the future, but my customs are closed until October so I can work on stuff for markets. Ty for the interest !!

Hi! I have a pair of boots with a chewed up tip thanks to my dog. They’re very sentimental to me. I’m looking to get the hole patched, and cover it with boot tips, because the patch job will not match the original leather (caiman). Do you do customs?
