Wow, this is great! I plan on making a costume for something soon and I need to craft a pair of shoes for it, was leaning towards wood for part of them because I figured it would hold up well to what I'm going to do to it, I think I've made the right choice for at least part of the materials...(I know it won't be easy to do, and I've accepted that. I also am planning on spending a good portion of time on them though.)

@VTwanderer It looks like a log peeling(or drawing) knife. It's a blade used for peeling the bark off of logs. It looks like it was adapted for shaping wood in the workshop.

@19simba42 I am a movie maker and would prefer making wooden shoes than the stressful job of working in the motion picture industry.

Does it have to be willow wood? Does Cherry split like that? That wood is like BUTTAH
Ah, and you think that you can earn your bread with it in this "modern" world?

Sorry, I am a movie maker, not an expert on the subjects. When humid, willow wood is well to work on. Maybe there are other sorts of wood than can be used as well.

May I ask which type of wood is used ?
I see it is very easy to work, and it should be very ligth to wear ...

The wooden shoes are made from willow wood, which is water saturated before working with it.

Ha.. what a misunderstanding by me......
I translate: I am pleased to notice that you are happy. At the moment I work on a documentary film about old Amersfoort (a historical town in the centre of the country) Today I made a presentation movie for an artist. You will find another couple of my short movies if you search for radio batavia (or use my YouTube screen name "19simba42"
Where do you live?
