Shepherd, illustrate the four stages of production. From left: 'Breaking up', how the sole would look after being shaped with a stock knife by the woodland clog block cutter; 'Roughing out', when the curve of the sole and hollow of the instep are made; 'Rounding up', which gives final shape to the sole; the last soles are a finished pair, complete with groove for the leather upper.<P>52/31/1-5</SPAN></SPAN></P></DIV>
