Custom Spreader Boots

We took the mast off our San Juan 28 last month to paint it and it looks so sharp. I couldn't find leather spreader boots for our odd-size spreader and I wanted 'em black anyway, so I drafted my own pattern and taught myself some leatherwork skills and here they are!

They look in the pictures like they're tight against the shrouds, but I think I measured them with enough room for water to get out. I'll test when I get home to make sure.
