A unique product meets an original process
This product is handmade solely by Dan, one shoehorn at a time! Dan draws inspiration from different pieces of rejected wood to create unique shoehorns. Next, he puts his woodworking skills into action.
Each shoehorn has roughly the same process yet is totally original in its end result! Dan visualizes an entirely new shoehorn with each piece of wood. Next, it is traced, cut, glued and shaped all by hand.
The following are the only woodworking tools used: power jointer/thickness planer, table and handsaw, router, old veil/wood-lathe, drill press, turning tools, carving tools, belt and hand-sander.
In the final step, a protective finish (Tung oil) is hand-rubbed on each shoehorn, emphasizing its natural beauty.
