Last, Shoe

Description

Wooden block cut in the shape of a shoe. The last's base has a wide, slightly curved toe. From the toe, the last gradually increases in height toward the instep. Following the instep is a flat oval top. 3/8" below top is a through-hole 5/16" in diameter cut width-wise. The heel curve extends 2" to the base or seat of the last. The seat has a balloon-like shape tapering to create the last's waist. The base widens, then tapers to create the waist before widening to the joint and tapering again forming the toe.
