Shout out to nostr:nprofile1qqs856uv0hshr92uy9x76l34e3uze4kamlg5r2a3j2wxxtmfxj8x7jgpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp0et8e44 for purchasing these handcrafted custom-made moccasins. They are made of braintan buckskin from a whitetail buck I harvested in 2019. The world's best money was used to exchange a product that required some of the world's oldest skills (tanning skins and creating stuff). Is that not cool?

Its so incredible to interact with awesome nostriches. This is how we will win.

Wow!! These are so nice!! Is it a difficult process? My family and I deer hunt and get at least one deer a year but we give away the hides. This has me rethinking. I bet a pair of mitts would be nice too!!

It is a pretty time consuming process. There are no real shortcuts. But it is a real proof of work hobby. Anyone that hunts deer should try it at least once if only to appreciate the craft.

I definitely want to look into this further! I think it would be incredible to learn this skill and have such a quality item that would last for years that I personally made. Are there any resources you can point me towards? Your craftsmanship is on point!

Braintan.com is a good place to look for resources and books.

Thank you so much!! I appreciate it!
