The diagram illustrates the process of manufacturing traditional wooden clogs.
Overall, this process involves six main stages, beginning with cutting the wood into pieces and concluding with painting the shoes in vibrant colors.
In the initial stage, logs of poplar or willow wood are sawed into smaller, more manageable pieces. Following this, an axe is used to outline a circular shape on the surface of the wood piece. Subsequently, a long knife is employed to remove the excess wood and roughly shape the clog.
In the next stage, a spoon drill is utilized to hollow out the interior, forming the shoe’s cavity. After the interior has been shaped, the shoes are meticulously sanded both inside and outside to ensure a smooth finish. The final step in the process involves decorating the shoes with vibrant colors before they are ready for sale.
By following these steps, manufacturers can create traditional wooden clogs that are not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing.
