It is SHAMEFUL to think that I posted that ^^^ nine months ago, and I just now, within the last 20 minutes, finished the first shoe. It's been a busy year. :mellow:
So, with just days to go before a good friend at work gets married in what's sure to be a fun Husker ceremony before the game, I've finally finished my Shoe. Here it is. I'm no craftsman, so go easy on me:

I told the wife that I want to redo my horseshoe frame and deciding whiter I want the wood frame or a chrome metal one.

Looks like Knapp used walnut for the frame while the original is oak.It looks like it's leaning to the right a littleThe horseshoe is a little off-centered lol.

I'd be concerned with the metal frame you'd be likely to get from Target or a local frame shop..Hopefully, the real one has more better mitred corners that are polished so as not to cut the hand of the occasional high-5 when adrenaline causes you to try to destroy the shoe (I thought this thread was about tOSU stadium at 1st too).
Don't toy with me, Knapp!

Actually I was just thinking the opposite..The original shows the tighter grain patterns of Walnut, or maybe Koa.. and Knap's looks like red oak with a medium walnut stain. ..(Either unsanded to make it slightly darker, or a mixture of dark and Medium walnut stain)Looks like Knapp used walnut for the frame while the original is oak.It looks like it's leaning to the right a littleThe horseshoe is a little off-centered lol.

Those are the horseshoe nails. I got actual factual nails from a farrier. I was afraid they'd bend and twist when I was driving them in, but they're stronger than framing nails.That looks badass Knapp!!!

Mine is actually oak, with a dark walnut stain. I'm colorblind so it was pretty unlikely that I'd get the stain right. I just tried to get close. Plus I don't know wood so I can't tell what frame they used for the original. I wonder when the original was framed - I'm betting Menard's doesn't have that trim anymore. :lol:
