Extract from back cover of book:
Working as a part time wood carver at a theme park in Tennessee, Larry Green often has the opportunity to demonstrate carving to visitors from around the nation. Hardly a day goes by without at least one visitor saying, "Why carve shoes?"
The main reason, according to Larry, is the challenge of transforming a block of wood into a boot or shoe, giving it a unique design, character and personality. The shoes become works of art to which most people can relate.
With step-by-step, colour illustrated instructions, Larry gets the reader started on the "right foot". Five boot and shoe projects are described in detail, including a baby shoe, a work boot, a cowboy boot, a "Storm" boot, and a ski boot. A gallery includes several other styles, including the old Lady in the Shoe's shoe.
