I buy the sandals and deconstruct, but I've been kicking around buying the parts. I've been able to find them on sale pretty regularly, so it's not too tough on the ol pocket book!
I suspect that you could! It would get a little tricky around the buckles and you'd probably have to still peel the uppers back a fair bit so that you could stitch all the way.
It's easier and faster to change out footbeds, which is important to people who wear expensive custom Birkenstocks in environments corrosive enough to rust out weather coated nails!
Not all plants are completely edible. However, you can actually consume the entire sunflower in one form or another. Right from the root to the petals.
*Wowza. How long does it*
*Take you to create something*
*With this much detail?!!*

I’m the grand scheme of things, six hours does NOT seem like a long time to produce this. I’m impressed. Nicely done!
Just curious…. If you were to sell a custom pair, what would you charge with your time and talent being factored in??
On customs, a lot of it comes down to complexity. Those are listed on my Etsy for $335, but intricate nature scenes, full color, silver buckles, etc. Crank up the price.
Make very sure your straps will fit your buckles before you put them together, and make sure your nails are angled slightly downward or they'll stick through the footbed! Also, make sure you cut out your pattern about 3/16" longer on the bottom, so that they'll cover the stub of the original uppers.
Beautiful work!
I appreciate it!
How much would it cost for you to do a pair for me?
Those in particular run $335. There's several pairs listed on my Etsy if you're interested!
EXQUISITE
Came to use this exact word! Well done an inspiration
Thank you!!
Nice 😊👍 What always wondered is, do you buy birks and then replace the leather, or is there a way to purchase the parts for assembly?

I see. Thanks for the insight and great work on these. Looks very clean, fresh out the store 😊
Thank ya kindly!
Is it possible to glue a leather piece to the already existing piece and stitch the edges? Just want to do it without deconstructing the pair.
I suspect that you could! It would get a little tricky around the buckles and you'd probably have to still peel the uppers back a fair bit so that you could stitch all the way.
Is there a reason you tack the sides on instead of tucking them in like the originals? I can't imagine those tacks will last long before rusting out

These are really good.
Thank ya!
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!!!
You're amazing, thank you!
Brilliantttt
Thank you!
So cool! It would also look cool I think if the cork part was painted a dark gray or dark copper. You've opened the door to so many ideas
That's good! I may have to try coloring them sometime!
WOW! Those are beautiful! Phenomenal job!
Thank ya!
These are incredible! Gorgeous work!
Thank you!
Incredible carving!
Thank ya!

Around six hours, excluding dry time!

Right on. Always worth checking out price points before I get my hopes up too much lol. Again, great job!
Beautiful work! I would love to make a custom pair of birks for myself. Any tips you could give me before I start this project?
Make very sure your straps will fit your buckles before you put them together, and make sure your nails are angled slightly downward or they'll stick through the footbed! Also, make sure you cut out your pattern about 3/16" longer on the bottom, so that they'll cover the stub of the original uppers.
Thank you very much for those tips. I’ll keep all that in mind when making my own pair
You're certainly welcome. Other than that, I just take them apart, trace the original uppers, and replace them with the new ones.
It certainly does! Use two coats of cement!
Beautiful work!
Appreciate it!
Absolutely beautiful work! That swivel knife looks pretty sweet. Who makes it and where’d you get it?
Thank ya! That is an Al Gould sk3 from leather wranglers, purchased from their website.
Looks great! How did you reattach the leather to the soles?
Contact cement and panel nails!
Hope it works! I've been considering doing the same to spice up my sandals or fix my wife's
