I make custom boots based on the methods of the late Carlton T. (C.T.) Chappell, a third generation master boot maker, of Saint Jo, Texas. I had the distinct honor of attending the final Chappell Boot Making Seminars, taught by master boot maker Dew Westover, of Dew's Custom Handmade Boots. Dew taught the course completely in the method of C.T. Chappell.
