I am making a pair of caligae and have reached the hobnail part. I was going to choose a pattern after the one in B&C 2 pg 112.
On this page, caligae A and C have only a few nails in what will be the inner part of the caligae sole. Is this because the hobnails are missing or because they were not purposely placed there.
I saw that Martin Mosher used a similar pattern but used hobnails all the way around and did not leave the spaces as per B&C 2.
I know that there are several patterns and that those are not the only ones. I was just curious as to any opinions.
Any suggestions or comments would be welcome.
