My facebook has lot's more pictures and text/links and I update it regularly One of the more recent facebook pictures is of Richard Ely's "unplugged " black Laker clogs. No grinding, no machinery: what you see is what I cut, . I can do that knife finish for any style. I prefer it. In age of perfect soul less machine finishes I like to see the marks of the maker. Apart from pottery, it's hard to find People are no longer used to the notion of bespoke [made to measure]. If you look at any of the styles below or additionally on my facebook pictures bear in mind that you can have any colour with any toe style with any style of top: dyed soles, brass, steel or no toetins at all. You can mix and match to your hearts content and have a pair that is for you only, that is made to fit you with the options that you alone have chosen
