Good work Cap'n.

Thanks Snoogz, wish I had more to polish.....been a shell dry spell for me lately.

For Shell Cordovan, I use the Mac Method strictly. It can make for a lot of work, but the end result is worth the extra effort.

Here is The Mac Method
1 - Clean shoes with damp cloth
2 - Brush vigorously with a horsehair brush
3 - Buff with smooth cloth
4 - Use wax sparingly after a minimum of fifteen wearings

Deer bone?

P.S. +1 on the great work!

popped my cordovan cherry at the thrifts yesterday; too lazy to go into the shoecare thread. Thanks for your tips, transformed a couple of my finds from busts to something that looked decent.

I imagine Wes setting out in his beaver jacket to hunt deer and acquire their bones for cordovan care.
