For all of you non Dutchables

This is how the dutch make the wooden shoe.


We start with a piece of wood.










Then we start to shave the wood away, it is also called turning the wood.


They have special tools for it...and I have no idea what or how...so don't ask me more about tha alright...LOL


And this is how it looks after some "turning".


Then the paint fairy comes along and gives the wooden shoes a nice lick of paint.

They they go to different stores all over that little country called Holland... you know it as The Netherlands. (and no Amsterdam is not the name of the country)

Aren't they pretty?

And then when they got bought by a farmer, they know their place, it is outside near the back door.

Special thanks to Eva, she made these beautiful pictures...thanks Eva.
